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.

What can you do with an $11 netbook? I took the easy way out this time.
I made an alarm clock that is voice controlled and has pages of modules,
as well as the ability to hide and show individual modules. Set an alarm
and hide the modules. When the alarm sounds, “Page One” appears, along with
a button to click to reset the alarm clock.

@DKarnafel

I think this is what you are looking for.

Funny as all hell! :-)

@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.

My apologies, gentlemen. There is a problem with the mic upon install that seems to be specific to the Pi. @cowboysdude did an install late last night and he encountered the same issue, so forgive me. I am looking at it right now and will not sleep until it is resolved. Not!

Seriously, it will be fixed ASAP.

Thank you for your patience and interest.

I have one of these netbooks, can’t get it to turn on!

Plug it in and press the power button? :-)

@bm

And please use a code block when posting code or terminal output. Your post is incredibly difficult to read otherwise.

I likey! :thumbsup:

@shipoffools1

You could try this. It doesn’t always work.

1. Copy and paste the intended module folder twice so that you now have 3. ( example module - weatherforecast.

2. Rename one of the copied folders to weatherforecast2. Then open that folder.

3. Rename the weatherforecast.css file to weatherforecast2.css. Open that file.

4. Rename all instances of .weatherforecast to weatherforecst2. Save and close.

5. Rename the weatherforecast.js file to weatherforecast2.js. Open that file.

6. Edit the Module.register line to weatherforecast2. Inside the quotes only!

7. Edit the getStyles: function() return line to read "weather-icons.css", "weatherforecast2.css". Inside the quotes only! Save and close.

Follow the above instructions again with the third folder, renaming, AS ABOVE, to weatherforecast3.

Then you need a config.js entry for each module, using the names of the original and the 2 renamed modules.

How do you run MM natively on Linux?

Are you asking about something other than a Pi? ubuntu and MM run very happily together. Install ubuntu (I use 16.04 exclusively) and update. Install the latest stable version of node and npm. Install MM and its dependencies. Live a happy life. :)

@Ebson said in RPi 3B+ / high %CPU / high temp:

'Weather or Not’

CPU usage and heat have arisen now and again. If you search the forum you’ll find lots to read and perhaps a solution. At times it has been the version of Pi and other times the version of electron.

Concerning MMM-WeatherOrNot: There are only 2 things that I can think of that might affect your Pi negatively.

1. An extremely low updateInternal. The default is updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000, (10 minutes)

2. The use of the animated icons option.

I would like to hear from others if they are having the same issue, whether with a low updateInterval or the animated icons.

@mdhenriksen said in Little voice testing.....:

Do you just run the npm start and then it opens in a new window or how does it work?

Just to be clear, 16.04 LTS. Never had a problem on several machines.

Now, everything is exactly the same as if it were running on a Pi. So, yes, all commands are exactly the same, including npm start in the MagicMirror directory

@dwburger

Cool. I found MM about 3 years ago. No coding experience at all. Captivated by both now. Made some friends. Trying to learn every day. :-)

@mdhenriksen said in Little voice testing.....:

Could you refer me to somewhere that shows how to install dependencies maybe?

In the case of the installation of MM, after you clone the MM repo, you would navigate to the MagicMirror directory in your terminal and run npm install. That will install the dependencies for MagicMirror. In the case of adding modules, you would navigate to that module folder in your terminal and run npm install. Simple as that. :-)

@rxlDavid

Use these. Adjust to your liking:

.MMM-Mail {
  margin-right: 0px;
  margin-left: 0px;
  margin-top: 0px;
  margin-bottom: 0px;
}

@mdhenriksen said in Little voice testing.....:

Awesome, got it working finally!

That’s good news! Now enjoy yourself. :thumbsup:

@1uke_ said in What is the 'best' way to install magic mirror?:

hope that I am now capable enough to be able to complete a magic mirror.

You are.

@sdetweil’s installation scripts are the way to go. I use them often AND he’s here to support them.

@physics90

Thank you, friend. If there is something you need help with, post a topic and I’ll do what I can to help you. Otherwise, there are plenty of others willing to help. I’ll keep an eye out for your posts.

Enjoy the process!
