Only thing that comes in my mind that you have either put cable on wrong GPIO or cable is broken.
As per default you have either to use GPIOPins: [26,20,19]//rotary cw, rotary ccw, rotary press (BCM Numbering - marked yellow in the above picture) or (if occupied) enter the correct BCM (!) numbers in config of module.
If this is all correct, module should work.
@crowimu
I‘m not using this module and I do not know which of GPIO‘s you are using for your rotary encoder -
In the module‘s description the author mentioned an eventually necessary modification for some of the PI‘s:
On some Raspberry Pis it is neccesary to put the following line to /boot/config.txt for the GPIO where "rotary press (SW)" is connected:
gpio=19=ip,pu
Background: Sets your GPIO 19 as input (ip) and pull up (pu) Change the entry according to the GPIO pin you use.
Have you double checked this?
Your error-listing shows „invalid argument , write“ in some context to GPIO…
May there is a topic for further investigation….
Good luck!

@sdetweil OK, have pulled update and disabled debug options again.
Keep you posted.
THANKS for your effort!
Ralf
Dear Sam, @sdetweil ,
Just for your information - no action necessary:
Unfortunately problem re-appears if I take the debug and debugging option out.
But: No worries - with these options enabled, birthdaylist doesn’t disappear, so for me it “works” …
Thanks for your great work!
Ralf
@sdetweil :-)
Just yesterday I made some other minor changes and with this I‘ve deactivated the debug parameters for your module.
Will keep this in my eyes and report back, if problem re-appears or not.
Thanks so far !
Ralf
@newbi asked
can i develope on my Laptop or do i need to create a developement environment on my raspy
Dear @newbi ,
neither, nor :-)
You can “develop” physically on your laptop but the files (should) remain on the Raspi.
On the Raspi therefore you do not need a “development” environment.
You need a FTP Browser - connect this one via SFTP to the Raspi (SSH should be enabled on the Raspi - then SFTP works inherently).
Than you click right on the remote (Raspi) File(s) you need to modify and open the file(s) with a (Laptop) local editor of your choice.
When changes are done, save the file and restart the mirror - then you see the changes.
At least this is the way as I do those things - currently NOT programming but changing custom.css and config.js.
I am on a Windows laptop in most cases and I use BitVize for FTP and SSH and Sublime as Editor (which is for “programmers” because several “languages” are marked up nicely).
For a quick view on the result I use VNC-Viewer which gives me a better view because I have my display in portrait format which isn’t displayed nicely in Webbrowser).
HTH

I guess to get both - easyness and cheapness is not possible…
As far as I have seen pictures around and read several comments here in this forum I got the impression that best result will be with glass - this is kind of expensive.
The cheaper version with Acrylic is not that “brilliant” and there are may some restrictions in the viewing angle.
The least expensive so cheapest version is the foil - this is the far most complicated one because you have to apply the foil on some kind of Acrylic or glass which often fails due to bubbles, scratches, dust or whatever.
I definitely wanted to go for glass.
In the meantime I have decided to build up a “Magic Signage” not a mirror.
This is caused by the fact that the already build up prototype is present since several weeks in our living room and we visit this beauty several times a day.
So the final version will stay nearby - at least in the living room and a mirror at this place doesn’t make any sense to us.
(initially planned was to replace the mirror in the hallway but this becomes obsolete for the above reasons)
HTH,

Ralf
@sdetweil THANKS to YOU for your huge effort here in this place!
