  • RE: MMM-ModulesGroupsRotation - simple alternative to MMM-pages

    @lazerclone
    Been using Carousel for a few years now and it works great. You can have pretty much as many modules as you want circulate through with it.
    I would like to have the ability to have each or individual modules timed to stay up longer or shorter time periods, but have not really dove into working out that small issue with carousel…

  • 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…

    @cgillinger
    I installed your module, it does nothing when its turn comes up in MMM-pages.
    I am running Bookworm, MM 2.30 on a Pi 4 8gb. How do I pick the messages?
    Not quite enough information to run this module.
    Please help with the setup…

    Thank you both for the help.
    /usr/local/bin/pm2 restart mm
    worked so I set it up to stop now and if (fingers crossed) works.
    I am golden.
    Wonder why I never had to use the full path before?
    Maybe my pm2 path was /home/pi/pm2 before.
    Doesn’t really matter as long as it works, I am a happy camper.
    It works.
    Thank you so much… I will mark this solved.
    Well I would if I could… strange.

    By the way " which pm2 " shows the path that I needed to use in crontab -e

    The original cahcomic.css contains only this.
    Hope this helps you. I am not very good with all this code stuff.
    Mainly I do it through trial and error.

    /* The basic container */
    .cahcomiccontainer {
        overflow: hidden;
    
        /* To make the height of the container exact. */
        -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
        -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
        box-sizing: border-box;
    }
    #cahcomiccontent {
      white-space: nowrap;
      position: relative;
      overflow: hidden;    /* Required to make ellipsis work */
      text-overflow: clip;
      
      top: 0%;
      
      -webkit-transition: top 3s, height 3s;
      -moz-transition: top 3s, height 3s;
      transition: top 3s, height 3s;

    @sdetweil
    Sorry took so long to get back to the forum.
    I figured it out, using my default trial and error method.
    Here is what I ended up with and it fills the screen now.

    .MMM-PirateSkyForecast .module-content {
            width: 1820px;
    }
    .MMM-PirateSkyForecast .wrapper.table .forecast-container {
      display: table;
      border-collapse: collapse;
      width: 100%;
      font-size: 34px;
      line-height: 35px;
      border-bottom: solid 1px #222;
    }
    .MMM-PirateSkyForecast .wrapper.table .forecast-container .forecast-item > span,
    .MMM-PirateSkyForecast .wrapper.table .forecast-container .header-row > span {
      display: table-cell;
      font-size: 34px;
      text-align: center;
      vertical-align: middle;
      height: 40px;
    }
    .MMM-PirateSkyForecast .wrapper.table .forecast-container .header-row > span {
      height: 32px;
      font-size: 28px;
      text-transform: uppercase;
      vertical-align: bottom;
      padding-bottom: 2px;
    }
    .MMM-PirateSkyForecast .wrapper.table .forecast-container .forecast-item .forec>
      width: 60px;
      height: 60px;
      display: block;
      vertical-align: middle;
    }
    

    I never can figure out the window elements tab thingy.

    Just in case someone else needs this information in the future…

  • MMM-PirateSkyForecast Font resizing HELP.

    Okay I want to resize the numbers in the forcast on my screen.
    What parts of this I pulled from the MMM-PirateSkyForecast.css do I need to modify for my custom.css file to enlarge ALL the numbers and wording…???
    Just remove what I do not need. I am using table vs tile mode… Table fills the width of the screen but the numbers and words are pretty small on my 42inch screen.

    .MMM-PirateSkyForecast .attribution {
      font-size: 10px;
      line-height: 16px;
      color: #333;
      text-align: right;
    }
    
    /* Current Conditions */
    
    .MMM-PirateSkyForecast .current-conditions-wrapper .current.temperature {

    }
    
    .MMM-PirateSkyForecast .current-conditions-wrapper .icon {
      vertical-align: middle;
      line-height: 80px;
      margin-right: 20px;
      width: 100px;
      height: 100px;
      display: inline-block;

    No you did not fork from the wrong repo, someone merged the two repo’s so they where the same I have the full original that i backed up the files to my nas drive.
    I do not know how to send them to you or even share them. Not sure why the css was changed either. If it is not to technical I could try to load it somewhere on here for you…

  • RE: MM very slow to charge

    @Canguingo
    You can also make an image file of your sd card using win32diskimager program on you windows computer…
    It works well just really slow at least on my system.
    Then anytime it fails or you want to change the card out you can fairly quickly reimage to new card with everything ready to go.
    I do this like once a month as a backup or when ever I make major changes.
    I also keep a backup of the current config.js and custom.css with a list of the current modules installed. Any that are modified modules like I have to use an old css file to get the correct width and height to work from my custom css. I backup the whole module using WinSCP. Just a few tools to save headaches later that have been shown to me through the years…

    Thank you so very much for your work.
    I did have to restore the original css file from the original builder of this module.
    So I could get the full screen to work. Other wise it works so great now.
    My wife is very pleased.
    Thank you again for your great work…

  • RE: MMM-Wallpaper - wrong path

    @sankum said in MMM-Wallpaper - wrong path:

    MMM-WallPaper

    Is there a MMM-Wallpaper.js in the cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Wallpaper folder if so
    try
    sudo reboot
    If not fixed, in the MagicMirror/modules folder use “rm -rf MMM-Wallpaper”
    and try the
    “git clone https://github.com/kolbyjack/MMM-Wallpaper.git”
    again in the MagicMirror/modules folder.
    do not forget to do the
    cd MMM-Wallpaper
    npm install
    When it is finished loading.
    if that fails you may have a faulty card.
    I have had many fail me through out the years.
    I went to a small external usb drive to get around that problem.
    If none of this works let us know and maybe someone smarter than me will step in.

    If this does work for you mark it solved please.

    I am thinking unless someone else wants to put a bunch of time in to figuring out what changed. I am done with this one.
    I do appreciate the time you have invested in trying to figure it out…
    Thank you very much for your help…
    I will mark it resolved.
