UPDATE:
SUCCES!!! YES!!!
I just had to install npm in the MagicMirror folder!
My test bed for the MagicMirror is running again!

@Mykle1 It is written right on the module page:
“Navigate into your MagicMirror’s modules folder and execute ‘git clone https://github.com/73cirdan/MMM-rainfc’”
So I guess human error is the guilty one here!

@cyberphox
YESSSSSS! That’s what I need!
Thank you for helping me my friend!

@yep_DD the MagicMirror is running almost 4 hours strait on end now.
I would call that: screensaver disabled!

It works!
I’ve got my pi 3B+ today and installed the magicmirror software right away…and it works right out of the box!

Hi @peter,
I have it set to 2018 hoping it would show last season. I thought 2019 would be empty because that season hasen’t started yet. But here is the module part from my config file (Don’t mind the //. This way I can add the module to the config without causing it to fail):

// {
// module: ‘MMM-Formule1’,
// position: ‘top_right’,
// header: ‘F1 uitslagen’,
// config: {
// calendar: true,
// season: 2018
// }
// },

O…M…G!!!
I see were I did go wrong!
It’s Formula with an A! Not Formule with an E!!!
Feel so stupid right now!

On the other hand… THANKS for helping! If I didn’t copy and paste my config file here I would have looked at my config a lot of times thinking what is wrong without realising that it was a typo!

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply. Best thing is just to test it with a new clean install of resbian I guess.
I also found this post but after I posted my own question.
I find the possibility of using an app to “shut down” the system also great and hope this also works for an Android device.

I’ll just have to use my breadboard and test it out. But I think I’ll order a Pi zero W for that purpose.
If I screw it up it only costed about €10,-

Hi Sam,
That’s indeed what it said: “Installation failed. This probably isn’t a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3…”
or something like that.
But okay… I’ll try and do it manualy then. Hope that works for me …
Getting sweaty hands already just thinking about that…
But hey…It’s not working now anyway…so what have I got to loose!?

I just came across Mykle1’s guide for installing MM2 on a 32bit Win7 laptop.
I still have a license key for Windows laying around somewere so I have a backup in case MM2 realy can’t run on x86 Raspberry Pi Desktop… but ofcourse I hope it can run on it!

Hi guys,

Last week I installed Raspberry Pi Desktop on an old netbook (Acer Aspire One D250) I had laying around. And though rasbian is working just fine I can’t install MM2 on it.
The reason I would like to install MM2 on the laptop is to have a platform to test various modules on before installing them on my actual mirror.

Can anyone explain to me why I can’t install it? Or are there way’s to make it work?

" Just comment under my video"

I just did.

@thedoorsfanatic
I have seen this modules but I thought it was a inscreen module and not a remote controle via a web interface.
I currently have MMM-Pages to show different modules on different pages. Like on your smartphone. I use 2 ultrasonic sensors to move left and right through the pages.
Have the hardware al in place in the frame since last week and now I’m setting up the MM2 again … because I lost/misplaced my original SD-card…
What HAT are you using for the voice control by the way?

@thedoorsfanatic WOW!!! WAIT…WHAT???
That’s you in the youtube vid? And you controle your mirror using a tablet with a webinterface?? HOW??? I want that too!

@Sean It’s just I’m not that familiar with doing everything via the command shell. Installing modules via the shell that I can do.
But I haven’t changed the config.js via the shell yet.
is it simple as: “sudo nano /MagicMirror/Config/config.js”?

@Sean Nice!
But it still is commandline correct? No desktop view of the pi.
Seeing this I like to have 1 program that connects to my pi that on a laptop can show me the Pi’s desktop (remote desktop) but on my Android smartphone uses the commandline. Teamviewer has only the remote desktop…and that’s on a smartphone not great. But using the commandline completely is at the moment to much for me.
I do use JuiceSSH on my smartphone When I’m at home) for simple things like checking folders and stuff. But to customize the MM2 I do would like to have a desktop enviroment for now.
But I’ll have a look at this option as well! Thanks for pointing it out!

@Sean that dataplicity is only commandline right?
And they also have an app for my smartphone (Android) I see.
Does that mean I can control my Pi (via commandline) from any place in the world?
Without port forwarding? Or does this require port forwarding?

@sdetweil
I didn’t know that Teamviewer could run on a Pi!?!?
I’ll look into it!
Thanks for the heads-up!
