@Fozi I rechecked my wires and confirmed they were wired on the correct pins although the picture I sent does look off, the red wire is on the 5v, black is on gnd, and the brown wire is on GPIO pin 7. The config.js is also configured accordingly but when I npm start the Magic Mirror a blank screen continues to show. So I tried using the MMM_PIR module instead and got the same results, a blank screen. Not sure why the sensor’s not working

Hi thank you for responding, I recently bought a soldering iron and soldered the pins to the sensor and I’m still having trouble having it turn on the smart mirror. I’ve attached a picture, I don’t think the module is the problem and made sure the cables are attached to the right pins, could it be the soldering? Sorry to bother I’m new at this.

Beautiful mirror! The only part that I’m stuck on is the microwave sensor, I don’t have a soldering iron so I’m curious on how you wired the sensor because that seems to be my issue

@Fozi Hi I was following the steps and everything is working fine I’m using the same pir module as you with the same configuration. But TV when I launch the mirror the screen is blank and at first it meant that the mirror was working and started moving my hand in front of the sensor and nothing. Is it necessary to solder the pins to the sensor for it to activate? If so then that must be my problem. I haven’t seen many other sources of a microwave sensor with raspberry pi only PIR and I would be greatly appreciate for your input.

@sdetweil no I don’t using pihole to filter out DNS, I tried pinging it and it shows up with destination host unreachable

the wifi is setup and connected but when I open the Chromium browser Google loads but if i try to search up anything it shows err_name_resolution_failed even though I’m connected to wifi.

Hi I’m completely new and I’ve been having trouble with Raspberry Pi 4 in accessing the internet to download the MagicMirror. It keeps giving me err_name_resolution_failed and I have no idea how to fix it. I’m using Wireless and when I tried pinging it says destination host unreachable. Would really appreciate help.
