Read the post above this one. Same goes for you. One of you create the topic and explain what you’ve done so far and we’ll go from there

@johnnyboy said in How to add modules. For absolute beginners.:

—Just a thought you may consider?.. Seeing as your ‘‘How To’’ threads are popular amongst the new members, would it be an idea to have a pinned post of all your ‘‘How To’s’’ ? One pinned post, with named links to all your tutorials? " How to Tutorials - For absolute beginners"
1/ How to add modules - < insert link >
2/ How to install MM on PC - < insert link >
3/ How to post code on the forum - < insert link >
4/ How to create a working config - < insert link >
Then lock the post so it does not become cluttered with questions? … Just a thought.

That would be up to the administration of the forum. However, thank you for your vote of confidence, bro. :thumbsup:

@dazza120

Ok, I’ll take a look at your post right now. I’m in NYC, for the record.

@Stoffbeuteluwe said in MMM-Lunartic not working:

Hi, I think the website is down…
Anyone the same Problem

Yes, the US Naval Obvservatory api that supplies the images is down. This happened once before and I’ve included a temporary fix MMM-Lunartic.js file in the repo for just such an occasion. Rename your current MMM-Lunartic.js file to MMM-Lunartic.bak and copy the file from the temporary fix folder and paste it at the root of the MMM-Lunartic folder. Run your mirror.

I will notify when the api is up. It might be April before that happens but the module will work as expected.

You’re entry should look like this. Enter your latitude and longitude where you see it in the code posted below. Also, change language: config.language, to your language. See below. And last, you need a comma to close the last curly quote. }, See below. You can copy and paste the code below and make the changes I have shown.

{
		module: 'MMM-PrayerTime',
		position: 'top_left',	// This can be any of the regions. Best result is in the top_left/top_right.
		config: {
			apiVersion: '1.0', // please, leave unchanged. reserved for future use.
			lat: 41.123456, // latitude of your position (city)
			lon: -71.123456, // longitude of your position (city)
			timezone: false, // please refer to http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
			timeFormat: 24,
			method: 5,
			playAdzan: ['fajr', 'dhuhr', 'asr', 'maghrib', 'isha'],
			notDisplayed: ['midnight', 'sunset'],
			useUpdateInterval: true,
			updateInterval: 86400 * 1000, // How often do you want to fetch new praying time? (milliseconds)
			animationSpeed: 2.5 * 1000, // Speed of the update animation. (milliseconds)
			language: "en",
			showAdzanAlert: true,
			alertTimer: 15000
		}
	},

Then take a moment to read this link that explains how to add modules to your config file.

April till its operational?

The module works with the fix I’ve provided. You won’t notice the difference, but yes, the USNO api is undergoing maintenance and has set that date for its completion.

@mdhenriksen

I have not found heat to be an issue at all. In fact, by removing the motherboard from the case, the temps are actually lower, even when placed behind a mirror. As long as the construction of the mirror is well ventilated, I don’t think that would ever be an issue.

I do not remove the fan. I’ve found that in a normal environment, (people, tv, ambient noises, etc…) the fan noise isn’t even noticeable. Only when the house, or room, is completely silent is the fan audible. For me, this is not an issue when a mobo mirror outperforms any Pi mirror, hands down.

Note: There are silent fans these days but I have never used them with a mirror. I’ve never felt the need to but that is certainly an option for anyone.

@DKarnafel

I think this is what you are looking for.

@mdhenriksen said in MM and UBUNTU. Made for each other.:

Using MMM-pages and MMM-voice, so a more powerful CPU would be preferred.

That is largely the reason I moved away from the Pi. (I still have my first Pi mirror). I’ve been using MMM-voice and Hello-Lucy for about a year now and I could not be more pleased with the results and the performance.

@TheGeekfather said in A problem about MMM-BMW-DS:

Your modules are excellent

Thank you for your kind words. :thumbsup:

Off topic but does Hello-Lucy still work?

Yes, in fact I’ve just finished a substantial upgrade. You’ve installed recently?

Please paste your config entry in a code block ( </> in menu) so I can take a look at it.
