raspberry pi 4.

I did an install from the magicmirror remote. The last update worked fine, no problems.

git pull && npm install in the terminal should take care of that, right?

Any help? Why would I be missing files?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

I’m not certain when exactly this is happening. I’m finding that one of the trains in the module disappears and comes back on it’s own.
Always seems to be long enough to notice it for a few days though.
It should always be visible, as long as there isn’t a cut in the service. Which there currently is not.

MM is always on. Although I’ve tried restarts to correct the issue

I have not seen any update on the github module page, and I am currently up to date.

I’m more looking to see if anyone using the NYC_Transit module has had any of the same issues.

Elan, this module is amazing. Thank you for your hard work.

I periodically lose one of he trains listed. It comes back eventually, but not sure wat is causing this. Any insight or suggestions into the cause would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

@sdetweil

Yep. I think I may just look for a second hand or cheaper computer monitor.
I just want to make sure the PIR sensor is compatible with it…

@sdetweil

yeah. before building a frame and ordering the glass, it might make sense to buy a monitor instead that does support cec commands. any suggestions?

I have an older Samsung tv that I would like to use for my magic mirror. Couple questions. I’m a bit concerned about heat. After removing the housing, I noticed the bands connecting the screen get very hot. I was thinking of mounting some usb powered fans within the frame to cool down the pi and to offset the heat from the tv. I’ve never done this and want to make sure it’s done safely and correctly.

The other issue with the older Samsung is that it seems too old for cec commands. Maybe I’m wrong. Has anyone has any experience with this?

Many thanks for your time.

Hello,

My mirror has been working spectacularly. That is until I started working with the PIR - Sensor module.

I followed the PIR- Sensor (HC-SR501) instructions here
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6291/howto-turn-on-off-your-monitor-time-based-pir-button-app

However, after a short amount of time the pi remains on, but the connection to HDMI is lost and I get the blue screen of death, followed by a black void.
Thus requiring a (not advised) reset of the Pi, to work against the clock and remove the module from the config file.

I’m a bit over my head with his one. Any suggestions?

Nick
