Glad to hear you got it working!
Thanks ninja. Your suggestions pointed me in the right direction, but even then I was at a loss on how to proceed. @cowboysdude deserves all the credit, though. He took the time to explain things to me.
Is this your dev environment? Or do you really have an i7 780, GTX 660 and 16Gb running MM? At least it can run MMM-Globe!
This is my dev machine. It dual boots Windows and ubuntu. I found it on craigslist, although it came with 8GB of RAM. Luckily for me, it wouldn’t boot when I went to buy it so I stole it for $80 and had it up and running in minutes after getting it home.
MMM-Globe! Yes, very nice module. Stunning graphics. But I prefer MMM-EARTH with an animation speed of 0 and a rotate interval of 1000. Also challenging for a Pi but the laptop boards I use handle it nicely and I get the most recent images of Earth. I’ve seen hurricanes develop and an eclipse. Pretty spectacular stuff. :-)
