    • Copy & paste question

      What should I use to paste the instructions into the config.js file? I’m guessing as to the indent location for the various lines and apparently that makes a difference.

    • RE: Where to insert text?

      But… now i installed a couple modules, checking everything but MM is stuck ‘loading’. All that shows is the clock and weather and the header for Jeopardy. Where is my error? Below is what I have:

                      },
                      {
                              module: "weatherforecast",
                              position: "top_right",
                              header: "Weather Forecast",
                              config: {
                                      location: "West Linn",
                                      locationID: "5760009", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.$
                                      appid: "xxxxx"
                              }
                      },
                      {
                              module: 'MMM-IPCam',

    • RE: Where to insert text?

      I used pm2 to autostart MM. Now I can’t get to the Pi desktop. I used pm2 stop mm then on the Pi command Q. MM disappeared for a few seconds but restarted right away. I rebooted and repeated but can’t get off MM

    • Where to insert text?

      I’m trying to add some 3rd party modules to my MM. Many require text to be added to the config.js file. I tried but broke the config. I removed what I had pasted in and all is working now. I searched for the protocols for modifying the config but can’t find an answer. With all the {, ( ), ', " }, etc I need help. Where would I insert the following in the config.js file:
      {
      module: “MMM-quote-of-the-day”,
      position: “lower_third”,
      config: {
      language: “en”,
      updateInterval: “1d”
      }
      }

    • RE: Total noobie question re formatting

      Thank you but what do I use to access the config.js file? Can I ssh into the Pi to make these changes or from the Ubuntu desktop?

    • Total noobie question re formatting

      I installed MM on my Pi4. It looks good but I tried to change to time format to 12 hour in Terminal. But I ran into syntax errors every time. I was in the MagicMirror directory and tried moment commands, format commands with no success. I read thru many guides but they were lacking in examples of how to type it out. I found h hh was one way and LT another but what actually lets me change it is beyond me. Can someone point me to a beginner’s guide?
