I have two rooms equipped with Bosch since one week and happy to test your module.

Hi all and @darick_c ,

I would like to use MMM-BackgroundSlideshow to show some pictures full screen.

In the config I use:

gradient: [ "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 20%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 80%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%" ]
horizontalGradient: [ "rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.75) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 30%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 70%", "rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%" ]

So, there should be, top to bottom, a darker area from 0% to 20% of the screen and from 80% to 100%, right?
And from left to right, there should be a darker area from 0% to 30% and from 70% to 100% of the screen.

I put a 100% white picture in the background, to see where the darker area is.

I don’t know if I understand the gradient, horizontalGradient wrong or something else is not correct.

Full config:

{
			module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
			position: 'fullscreen_below',
			config: {
				imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/BackgroundImages'],
				transitionImages: true,
				transitions: ['opacity'],
				randomizeImageOrder: true,
				slideshowSpeed: 500000,
				gradient: [ "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 20%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 80%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%" ], //von oben nach unten, % = wo im Bildschirm startet es
				horizontalGradient: [ "rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.75) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 30%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 70%", "rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%" ] //von links nach rechts, % = wo im Bildschirm startet es 
			}
		},

@FatTony123 can you explain how to use the fork? I am a total noob.

My MM was running now for 48h without freezing. I don’t know what happened the last couple of times. Thank you to @Tribun ! I checked all the logs and found no problem. I will now start to install the first modules and see what’s going on.

@Fozi
Good morning, with a clean OS and a clean but stopped MagicMirror my Raspberry ran for 48h without any freeze or wifi problem or what so ever. Even after the 48h I could access the OS via SSH.

Now I rebooted the system, MagicMirror with only the default modules without any changes are running. Let’s see what is in the log’s after 48h.

I am still looking for help, where I can find the right logs to look into.

Thank you.

I now have a clean OS installation and a clean MM installation. Stopped MM with

pm2 stop MagicMirror

and see, what it is doing over night.

Hello,

my MM freezes over night. I suspected the SD card or one of the modules. So I bought a new SD card and the original Pi power supply and proceeded step by step:

1. only Raspberry Pi OS 5.4.51 installed -> runs 48h without problems

2. MM via the installation script of @sdetweil

-> MM runs for about 12 hours then the PI obviously loses the wifi connection or something else happend and the whole OS freezes. I still see the MM on the monitor, but:

• in the terminal I can still execute commands
  or
• the whole OS is frozen, not even the seconds are running

My question, what is the best way to proceed? Where can I view which logs?

@sdetweil can you give me a screenshot where I find the solved-button?

Edit: Sorry, first I had to mark the question as question. Than there was the solved button. Well, this is kind of hidden :-)

@earnestrichards said in Disassembly a Dell U2715H:

I had the same question when I started work on my ‘mirror’ earlier this summer. I had purchased a HP monitor and found a link for 3rd party recyclers to properly disassemble and recycle the various monitor parts.

I used the same search term (except Dell not HP) and found this:
Dell Monitor Disassembly

Thank you, 24h after my second email I got a perfect disassembly instruction. Unfortunately, the pdf is to big to upload it here.

At the moment I am doing long term test. A have a new SD Card, with online running raspberry os on it. So far, after 24h the pi runs smoothly and the Wi-Fi is still working.
Tomorrow I will install MM2 on the same card, to see what’s going on.

What I need to know is, where to look if after installing MM2 the problems start?
