Thanks, it’s a start. Google didn’t give me anything useful.

…by accidentally connecting 12V to the 5V GPIO pin in a brain-fart-moment.
At first it looked like the pi was dead, although the red LED was still turning on but some magic smoke escaped at the same time…

Some google research later and I found out the magic smoke escaped from a diode (D5) which is used for the power protection circuit. After removing said diode the pi boots up again and seems to run just like before. However, I would like to replace that diode with a new one for the next time my brain stops working. Does anyone know where to get them? I couldn’t find anything at all!. The brand seems to be ST or something like that and it is written “BUZ GP 748” on it. That’s all I know at the moment.

Anyone able to help finding the right diode?

Thanks MichMich. That’s useful info.

@retroflex said in Cannot rotate display on new MM 2.4.0:

What command do you use to check temperature?

/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp

My RasPi seems to run at ~25% load according to the taskbar, when the Mirror runs in the background.
Edit: Just checked the temps via command prompt and it’s at 63°C. I think that#s too high and will have a look at it tomorrow.
More edit: Without MM running the temps are around 56°C. So the 63°C - although it seems high - are good enough values.
I also tried the dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d but the screen rotation didn’t work at all and the screen resolution was very low and I couldn’t adjust it to FHD.

I updated my Mirror yesterday and used dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d instead of dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d and didn’t have to change anything else to keep the screen in portrait mode.

2A is not nothing for a thin cable. What kind of cable are you using? If it is just a very thin one, it would also explain the huge voltage drop. Try using a thicker one.
I am running the Pi with a SSD with one of those very cheap china buck converters without any issues for 6 months now.

Hi Darren,

first of all: strokes suck! My wife had one in 2015 at the age of 37. She recovered well and is almost back to normal. Only the fine motor skills in her right hand still cause trouble but it’s still getting better.

What have you tried to install your modules? git clone ... and then nmp install? Have you modified your config.js accordingly?
I have no experience with Google assistant yet, so I can’t help there.

FYI: Glastroesch.de doesn’t ship their mirrors. They also do not directly sell to private people but give you a contact that does. Apparently they are around Ulm (for those that live close enough).

I would try a thin piece of glass from a picture frame. That can be easily cut and is cheap. You don’t lose much if you’re not happy with the result.

Thank you very much. I saw they are also in Germany. I will call them up tomorrow and ask for prices for the mirror and for shipping. If it’s really that cheap I will order one with 12% and with 20% transmission and see which one fits best.

Very nice build! What are the transmission values for your mirror? Have the Mirropane Chrome Spy with 8% and I am not too happy about it. The modules aren’t easy to read when it’s bright. Even in the night when I just turn on the light.

You could buy a universal LCD controller board like the V56. Buy the longest LVDS cable you can find. The board itself, w/o LED driver cost around 7.50€-8.00€ incl. shipping. The cheapest LVDS cable I found was 0.88€ incl. shipping. Usually they are around 20cm but you could also make a longer one yourself. A universal LED driver should be less than a euro, too.
You could then lead the cables to the inside of the cabinet (via the hinges probably). and hide the electronic boards in a hidden double floor board (if you know what I mean). Like a box inside, or on top of the mirror. Just make sure you allow air flow for cooling.

module: “currentweather”,

heißt das Modul currentweather? oder MMM-Wounderground?
unter Modul muss der Name des Moduls stehen der gleich mit dem Name des Ordners ist

Das default Modul heisst currentweather. Soweit ist alles richtig.
MicharlS: hast du mal gemacht, was idoodler gesagt hat? Logs könnten weiterhelfen.

@MichaelS The config.js.sample is only a sample file. You have to rename it by removing the sample part in the end. But you most likely did already, otherwise the mirror would ask you to create a config file.

Are the other modules showing?

I don’t really see anything wrong with your config. All other default modules are displayed? Did you rename the config.js.sample to config.js?

(Ich mach das hier mal auf englisch, damit du deine Chancen erhöhst, dein Problem zu lösen.)

It’s probably best to share your config with us. Just remember to remove anything you don’t want to share (e.g. API keys, maybe location etc.).

@blebbens
That’s a picture I took before mounting it to the wall. Taking a new picture will be a bit difficult now. Hope it helps.
Btw, I don’t use the MMM-PIR-sensor module. Initially I did though and I didn’t change the jumper. The sensor is set to “high”, in case it’s not clear from the picture.

Well, the Raspberry Pi alone is already a fatty with its LAN and USB ports. How will you deal with that? What about the power supply and the heat release? The space you have is tiny. If you every manage to make it fit neatly you should definitely post pictures :-)

Have you tried to set the timer potentiometer (Haltezeit in your picture) on the PIR-sensor to minimum? I have the very same PIR-sensors and they are working very well without any additional resistors.
