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

      @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.

      @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…

      @thartley
      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.

      I had to remove and reinstall, just updating with git pull did not fix it, but the reinstall fixed it. Thanks for your efforts.
      Much appreciated.

      @KristjanESPERANTO
      I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I am also having an issue with it saying undefined. I did do the git pull and npm install on MMM-Jast since it is the only one of 48 modules that stopped working… Kind of amazing, Since some of them are getting to be old modules… Running Trixie and latest MM. Pi4 8gb fully up to date…

      Is this too many modules for MMM-pages?

      I think I found my answer, I was on version 1.0.0 of MMM-pages.
      We will see what happens with Version 1.3.0 in the morning.
      I did the git pull.

      Sam,
      MMM-Adventskalendar, causes Your Pages to load all 50 of my modules on one page. I removed it and installed MMM-MyTeams-Adventskalendar and it works fine, now… Could not figure out what was actually causing it. Something about picture not having naming text. Didn’t know that would cause it to freak out.

      Try these settings.

      .MMM-CalvinAndHobbes .module-content {

              Margin-left: 10px;

              max-height: 1025px;
              width: 1810px;
              height: 1025px;
              overflow: hidden;
      }
      #cahcomiccontent {
              width: 1810px;
              height: 1025px;
      }
      
      

      Config.js:

      {
          module: "MMM-CalvinAndHobbes",
          position: "middle_center",
          config: {

      You might try MMM-GmailFeed, it allows sound when mail arrives.

      Just set it to

      playSound: true,
      
      

      Not sure what that sound is, because I have no speakers on my MM.
