    • RE: Calvin and Hobbs - Adjust screen size?

      @guitartoys
      Try these settings.
      You will probably have to adjust the sizes…
      It fits my 42" TV full screen all directions…

      Custom.css:

      .MMM-CalvinAndHobbes .module-content {
              Margin-top: 10px;
              Margin-left: 10px;
              max-width: 1810px;
              max-height: 1025px;
              width: 1810px;
              height: 1025px;
              overflow: hidden;
      }
      #cahcomiccontent {
              width: 1810px;
              height: 1025px;
      }
      
      

      Config.js:

      {
          module: "MMM-CalvinAndHobbes",
          position: "middle_center",
          config: {
                 invertColors: false,
                 grayScale: false,
                 updateInterval: 7200000,
                 limitComicHeight: -1,
                 maxHeight: "98%"
                    }
          },

    • RE: Can MagicMirror run on other similarily priced hardware?

      @sdetweil
      It only runs a patched version of stretch right now. I am able to do the project I was wanting to do with it… at $55 it is a little pricey and a LOT more work to get running debian, but it is doing the job. Finally found a wireless adapter for the Libre and it is rock steady… Only thing I do not like is I can not seem to get it to boot from a usb drive has to be from sd card…
      Fun little learning experience…

    • RE: SBC boards that work well besides Raspberry pi 3, 4 or 5

      @sdetweil
      Ah, I actully have one of those, I was given.
      Supposedly didn’t work just had a failed ssd in it.
      replaced that and loaded win 11, works fine.
      Maybe I should set it up to run some form of linux.
      I think I will, thanks for the Idea…

      @sdetweil
      Thank you Sam,
      That fixed my issue, and let me use the default clock files…
      Cool thing is with the old setting in the Custom.css file I can change the colon : color between the numbers a different color.
      Fun Fun Fun.

      @sdetweil
      Just played with Zorin, It is faster by far than windows 11.
      I think in time I could make it a daily useful OS.
      We will see in time.
      Caved, and bought a Pi4 4gb to play with these different modules…

      How do I go about getting a wizard.mp4 for the module?
      I do not have the equipment to make one of myself.
      I would like to have one of Harry Potter or Dumbeldor or Miany.
      Not sure how to spell them, just know what my wife says she likes…
      Any help would be appreciated.
      Maybe some place I can download a premade mp4
      I tried a couple I found on line but they will not work.
      Do they have to be under a certain size?

      @joey
      Had not thought about using laptop with dead screen to run MM or other OS on.
      I have one I could work with, to try out different OS’s.

      @DustinBryant
      Could this be used with my WYZE Door Bell???
      Does it operate off the ip address or does it have to use the ring program.?

      @ankonaskiff17
      I too am a single use per Pi person. 1 runs MM but with pages and 48 modules running on it. Pi4 8gb. 1 that is the homes DHCP server Pi4 2gb then I have one that is my DNS in house server Pi4 4gb 1 pizero running a backup dns the DHCP, DNS are all 3 on battery backup… I have a Pi3 that runs a photo show program that runs my pictures of My sons family I need to load a bunch new pictures. I also have a dedicated to my DEX Calendar LePotato. it is too slow for most anything else.
      All serve their purpose very well. The Pi5 4gb to 16gb version to me is a slower PC than I use personally. But they are more than capable to run pretty much all the software you referenced… Would be cheaper than a mini / NUC.

      The mini aka fan less PC was a freebie. So I fixed it and run windows 11 on it but hardly ever actually use it. My laptop is my primary pc for use.
      My Older windows 10 PC runs a LOT of my home related programs like cameras and laser engraver. It is my link to my 2 tb shared drive…

      I am an amateur at networking but I have a lot of fun playing with it all.

      @sdetweil
      Have you played with Zorin-OS-18 yet? That is what I have been thinking of loading on the mini PC.

      I have a LePotato,
      Not a fan really, I made a fully setup sd card and imaged it so I do not have to go through all the setup steps with it, but still pretty slow…

      @sdetweil
      What mini’s are you talking about?

    • SBC boards that work well besides Raspberry pi 3, 4 or 5

      I am looking for a SBC that is more affordable than the Raspberry Pi’s are right now. Was looking at the Orange Pi but they are not much cheaper.
