    • Mey's Mirror 1.5m x 0.67m

      Hello fellow MirrorMaker

      I work in a city up on a mountain, but live near the see. The weather is different. I got to work with shorts and t-shirt, because it was really hot where i live, but It was very cold up where I work. That’s the reason why i made my MagicMirror. Just to see the weather and myself on the mirror and think about clothing decision.

      But now to the interesting part. The components of my mirror:

      • Rapsberry Pi Zero W (~10€)
      • mirror: Pilkington Mirropane Chrome Spy 1500x670x4 mm (~270€ with shipping)
      • screen: MEDION LIFE P12164 (TV nobody used, so i took the screen)
      • frame: custom made in Jumbo (~110€)

      Modules:

      • Clock
      • Compliments
      • News Feed (maybe i’ll remove this)
      • MMM-swisstransport
      • MMM-weatherchart
      • MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic
      • Planed: Google Calendar (and ad this)

      I will change some things on the layout of my mirror. It annoys me a little, that it’s not that symmetric. The Google Maps Traffic will be bigger and more on the top. When I can find some space, I want to add my google calendar.

      But i had real trouble while making the mirror. First i destroyed the mirror, on the second day. That was a real turn off and I couldn’t work for some weeks. I fixed it - it will never be perfect, but it’s still my baby.

      Then I realized, that the Raspberry Pi 3b won’t fit in my frame, because of it’s height. So i decided to take a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Sadly I didn’t work like on the 3b. Luckily I got help in this forum. The problem was midori in combination with ES6. So i installed Chromium. It boots really slowly, but it’s enough for it’s job.

      The height of the frame isn’t that much, so I had to deepen the mdf plate on the back. Some tv-parts were too thick. There was so much dust…
      It’s over two weeks, but there is dust everywhere. I don’t know if I can ever remove all of that.

      My screen is on the top. The raspberry is powered by the tv usb-port. So i have just one cable going out of the mirror. For the control panel of the tv I cut a slot on the frame on the right hand side and for the usb slot on the left hand side. I will 3d print a cover for the control panel.
      I couldn’t screw in the mdf plate, because there are just 3mm left. So my brother glued a nut on the plate and screwed the tv parts.

      Finally we could install it on the wall.

      @idoodler Thanks 🙂 I needed a big mirror anyways. I’m glad that such a nice project exists.

    • RE: midori cant connect to localhost

      @bbdv I had the same problem. Midori has problems with ES6 and the arrow functions. I just deinstalled Midori and installed chromium-browser.

      You can rewrite the startMidori.sh

      #!/bin/sh
      unclutter &
      xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features.
      xset s off # disable screen saver
      xset s noblank # don’t blank the video device
      chromium-browser --no-sandbox --disable-infobars --start-maximized --noerrdialogs --kiosk --incognito http://localhost:8080
      

      If you want you can rename startMidori.sh to startChromium.sh, but don’t forget to rename it in the startMagicMirror.sh too.

      My startMagicMirror.sh looks like this:

      #! /bin/bash
      cd ~/MagicMirror
      node serveronly &
      sleep 45
      sudo xinit /home/pi/startMidori.sh

    • RE: Midori white screen (Raspberry Pi Zero W)

      @strawberry-3-141 Ok now i solved it. I just installed chromium-browser and did everything with it. It works with the ES6 too. I reversed my changes.

      Thank you for your answer. I struggled a long time. Without your hint i wouldn’t find it soon.

    • RE: Midori white screen (Raspberry Pi Zero W)

      Today I removed all arrow functions and replaced all “let” and “const” with var. But sadly this is not helping too. I don’t know if there is another browser i could use or use babel.

    • RE: Midori white screen (Raspberry Pi Zero W)

      @strawberry-3-141 thank you for your answer. I deactivated (removed from the config) each module except the clock module. But sadly nothing changed. Then i updated my MagicMirror and made a new config, but sadly that didn’t changed anything.
      On my PC it works, however i got the following error

      Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
      { Error: socket hang up
          at createHangUpError (_http_client.js:331:15)
          at Socket.socketCloseListener (_http_client.js:363:23)
          at emitOne (events.js:121:20)
          at Socket.emit (events.js:211:7)
          at TCP._handle.close [as _onclose] (net.js:554:12) code: 'ECONNRESET' }
      

      I will look if there is some other ES6 features, but wouldn’t more people have the same issue when it would be in the default modules?

    • Midori white screen (Raspberry Pi Zero W)

      Hi guys,

      I try to put MagicMirror on my Raspberry Pi Zero W (not enough space in the mirror for a Pi 3b). I set everything up like in the following post: How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero)

      Except:

      1. I modified many things on the MagicMirror 6 month ago (css, some modules), why I didn’t updated it. I have an older version, that works on my PC. So I had to move this file on the Pi.
      2. Npm and node didn’t really work (npm i dind’t install everything), why I coudn’t use /sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb. I don’t know anymore how I did it, but I installed node 8.11.1 and npm 6.0.1.

      On my PC the MagicMirror works fine (with node serveronly). Every module works perfectly. When I change index.html with a h1 and a simple text i can see it. But when i use the MagicMirror, there is a fullscreen white page.
      Autostart, fullscreen and “hide curser” works, it’s just the mirror that’s not working.

      Today i tried to npm i again (hoped it would maybe work) --> got some errors because of electron-chromedriver. I installed the chromedriver manually and moved it in the node_modules.

      Now I’m working some weeks on this problems, but don’t know why it’s not working. Do you have any idea?

      Thanks
