      You didn’t miss it. It is a change with the most recent update.

    • RE: After update, Calendar shows infinite number of events.

      @kvicksson

      Did you put maximumEntries after each URL call like below?

      url: ‘https://google.com/public/basic.ics’,
      maximumEntries: ‘10’,

      @onetwankyfive

      Adding the config option after each calendar worked for me. Thanks for the help!

      maxTitleLength

      I am having the same problem. I updated recently and maxTitleLength no longer is working.

    • RE: PIR Motion sensor

      Usually a black screen means that you have an error in your configuration file. Make a backup and remove as many lines as you can. Make sure you have the right GPIO pin. That can be confusing because it is different than the actual PIN number. Make sure you are also looking at a GPIO readout for a Pi 3 as the GPIOs are a little different depending on what version of the Pi you have.

    • RE: LED Backlight for mirror - PIR to control them

      Different strips have different ways they need to be programmed. Some have faster refresh rates than others.

      Most people will suggest ADA102 for beginners. The strips I linked to are LPD8806. As I mentioned previously the only reason I bought those ones is that MMM-PiLights was programmed to use them.

      @cowboysdude

      I used these only because they were incredibly cheap and I originally started out looking at MMM-PiLights which uses the same LPD8806 type:

      I used this python code:

    • RE: LED Backlight for mirror - PIR to control them

      I did this.

      alt text

      I used the MMM-PIR-Sensor module and changed the following in node_helper.js:

      From:

              if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1)
                exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);
      

      To:

              if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1){
                exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);
                exec("python /home/pi/py-spidev/RPi-LPD8806/LED.py");
             }
      

      and

      From:

            exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o", null);
      

      To:

            exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o", null);
            exec("python /home/pi/py-spidev/RPi-LPD8806/off.py");
             }
      

      Note that in the first from - to there is a “)” missing in the original code that you will need to fix. Also note that as soon as the module gets updated if you hack the code like I did above it will be wiped out when you update.

    • RE: Question About Mounting a Mirror in a Dorm

      You are going to be hard pressed to find something that supports 30 lbs that is non-destructive. I would suggest making a stand for it or put it on a table.

      Any tape rating is going to be highly dependent on the cleanliness of the surface prep. I would not trust tape to hold something that you are going to pour a lot of time and money into. Maybe you can hang it from something?
