@sdetweil I did try with another hdmi cable with no success, after that I lower the frequency, first it seemed to work but then the second time I rotate the screen went all black. This is so strange. It did work perfect a couple of month ago.

Hello, when I do rotate screen with the screen configuration the screen went all black and I have to restart the raspberry pi with the cable. Anyone know what happen? 1 of 10 times it work and the rest of it the screen went all black so it’s not everytime.

I did the install of the MMM-PhoneDetect but can’t get it to work. Does anyone know what do to? There seem to be no conection between my phone and the module. It’s a grey dot on the screen that is supposed to be green. When I did the log check I get this:

@sdetweil And what is another.module?

I have the MMM-ModuleController, MMM-Calculator, MMM-DrawingBoard. Do you mean someone of those or is it something else? I do understand what is supposed to happen, but can’t figure out HOW to do it with those lines.

@sdetweil Yes, but should I copy paste it into config or what?

I’m on a very low level of the Magic Mirror, have been here for only a month and I can’t understand were to put the line or lines. I have tried at least 50 different places, in files, cofig, and also the css. I can’t do it right.

@sdetweil What other modules?

@Pjarki Funny modules! I have them now, and have been thinking about to not use the MMM-ModuleController. I like the blurry background for the calculator. But there is one issue with the MMM-DrawingBoard for me, It is a bit laggy.

Do you know if it’s because of the non existing ModuleController in my config?

First of all then, I don’t know where to put these, can you tell me where to put them?

this.sendNotification(‘HIDE_MODULES’, { exceptionList: [“MMM-DrawingBoard”] });

this.sendNotification(‘SHOW_MODULES’);

@sdetweil It was a great upgrade

@sdetweil Yes that’s correct, I wan’t an preview of the image to click on. Either an folder or just pictures you can make bigger by click on it.

I don’t use the display with an mirror, so fingerprints wouldn’t be a problem for me.

Maybe I have to make more pages and add big pictures instead.

@sdetweil It’s not possible with an touchscreen either? It’s a thing called “popover” in the CalendarExt3 module, maybe it could work like that? I’ll show a picture. The “popover” show up when I click an event in the CalendarExt3.

Is there a module where you can have pictures/files in a folder an click to open one of them and see it and then click to close it again? Think about files in pdf and jpg.

If there is no module like this, anyone interested in making one?

@sdetweil Ahaaa! Thought you talk about the driver for the monitor.

@sdetweil Driver was only for Windows. I have buttons on the screen, but could’nt choose to rotate screen. All text was black except the one for rotate that was grey.

Maybe it’s because of this, found in the Dell manuall : NOTE: “Horizontal Position and Vertical Position adjustments
are only available for “VGA” input.”

I’m using HDMI. I don’t even know if the VGA would have solved my problem. But no need to know, @viktorzonix solved the problem for us. So glad for u guys helping, I haven’t asked one question at MM forum and not getting helped.

@viktorzonix Yes, that’s it. Thank you so much, can’t describe how glad I am for this, I really appreciate you share this for us!

I want to use my touchscreen vertically, but when I do that, the touch can’t click right. It’s like the mouse won’t turn side to vertical.

I have tried the screen with my PC, works perfect. It’s something between the screen, Rasperry pi and the Magic Mirror. Anybody have an idea about what? I do the rotate with the “screen layoute editor”. Have tried reebot.

@sdetweil Oh, that’s good to know!!

@sdetweil Intresting, no need for trailing comma when it was only

{
module; "clock", 
position: "top_left"
},

It did work with a trailing comma after position line, thanks!

Somone know why it does’nt work for me? I have tried:

{
module; "clock", 
position: "top_left"
         config: {
         displaySeconds: false
}
},

and

{
module; "clock", 
position: "top_left"
         config: {
         displaySeconds: false,
}
},

@sdetweil I did change weather module and first it did’nt work. But after a while it did. Think it was the 3.0 onecall api take some time after I did sign up. Thanks for the tip!

@sdetweil
Yes, they are 2 modules, the top_right is MMM-OpenmapWeather.

Hm ok so there can be limited data. This is my config and there is no difference if i take those out (I put them in by myself)
showRainAmount: true,
maxNumberOfDays: 8,
scale: “50%”,

{
	module: "MMM-weatherforecast",
	position: "middle_center",
	header: "Vädret i",	// This can be any of the regions.
	         		// Best results in bottom_bar region due to horizontal default layout and icon sizes.
	config: {
    showRainAmount: true,
    maxNumberOfDays: 8,
    scale: "50%",
		// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		location: "Stockholm, Sweden",
		locationID: "", //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
		appid: "xxxx" //openweathermap.org API key.
	}
},
