While I work in IT these days, I still do and have been and electrical engineer. Safety is obviously the key here, I would certainly not be willing to put that in my kids room for example without taking the proper precautions. Plastic sheeting is not a proper precaution. You can buy cheap cases from fleabay that would do the trick, or buy a sheet of 3mm Perspex and manufacture a case using hot glue and a dremmel to cur the holes as required. To fix the PCB to the Perspex use standoffs as already mentioned, which also cost pennies.

In many countries, insurance policies will not pay out if there is an incident with modified devices unless you have them certified by a qualified engineer. In most cases this does not cost much, but it is something to think about.

Hey guys!

How can I connect the Compliments Module with the Weather Module for weather-controlled display of compliments?
I know there’s a line currentWeatherType: ""in compliments.js but I don’t know what I have to insert in there.

And what I also want to know:
Can I do weather-controlled and time-controlled compliments in the same time?
For example at a rainy evening it shows entries from “evening” and “rain”?

With the help of another User on Github we found out what was causing the error!
It was the sudo, that I mistakenly used to execute the script. Running the install as pi was the solution.

Hope this will help someone with the same problem. 🙂
