@Peter ok, two things…

you ALSO have to add

weatherEndpoint: "/onecall",

to each config, as this is required for the 3.0 api

this makes it work with my 3.0 apikey

second,
in the forum, when you post config, or log info, please use the code block wrapper… else the quotes get changed to workd processing type which JS doesn’t understand

to do
paste the text into the editor, blank line above and below
select the text just pasted
hit the </> button above the editor

@Klinge yes it says we need node 20.18.1 or above
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19271/version-2-30-0-requires-updated-nodejs-warning-for-pi0w-installations

anyhow quickest way
install tool to allow changing node versions

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 20.18.1

now do the MagicMirror install

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run install-mm 

@unfriendlydevice I updated the installer script for the condition you found.

I would suggest reflashing the sd card before starting

@_V_

all in one… there is only ONE eventTransformer, it has to do ALL the work for ALL events

I used else if here… if it matched the first, there is no reason to check again

eventTransformer: (ev) => {
     if (ev.title.search("Geburtstag") > -1) {ev.color= "#ff00ff"; }
     else if (ev.title.search("Arzt") > -1) {ev.color= "#ff0000"; };
return ev; 
},

@ge see https://github.com/evroom/MMM-MPlayer

if you got an api key before IBM closed free access, the api key still works (for how long I don’t know)… mine still does

I’ll be glad to help

ok, your source ‘lifeFormArray’ is a hash… good for looking up randomly

now to get the user specified list into something usable, split is the way as already posted

// if user specified something
if(this.config.lifeForms.length >0 )
{
     // split will return an array with only one entry if no comma found
     this.config.user_keys=this.config.lifeForms.split(',');
}
else
     // add an entry to a special lifeFormArray entry for missing config info
     this.config.user_keys.push("none");

now, you want random, or walk the array of user_keys?

function getRandomInt(max) {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(max));
} 

// get one of the user specified data keys, using random
var key=this.config.user_keys[this.getRandomInt(this.config.user_keys.length)];

// append that id value to the url.
this.url = "http://eol.org/api/pages/1.0.json?batch=false&id=" +this.lifeFormArray.key;

its unclear if u wanted all or just one…

@elleclouds ok…
the motion module needs a video device…

run these two commands

sudo apt-get install v4l-utils
v4l2-ctl --list-devices

find the ‘camera’ device in the list
mine shows

odroid@odroid:~/MagicMirror$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
s5p-mfc-dec (platform:11000000.codec):
        /dev/video10
        /dev/video11

s5p-jpeg encoder (platform:11f50000.jpeg):
        /dev/video30
        /dev/video31

s5p-jpeg encoder (platform:11f60000.jpeg):
        /dev/video32
        /dev/video33

exynos-gsc gscaler (platform:13e00000.video-scaler):
        /dev/video20

exynos-gsc gscaler (platform:13e10000.video-scaler):
        /dev/video21

UVC Camera (046d:0825) (usb-xhci-hcd.3.auto-1.2):
        /dev/video0

the last is the camera…

so, in the motion.conf,

set the line videodevice to the value returned for the camera, in my case /dev/video0

# Videodevice to be used for capturing  (default /dev/video0)


# for FreeBSD default is /dev/bktr0
videodevice  /dev/video0

after changing the config file
either do

ps -ef | grep motion
     get the process id (pid) use below
kill -s SIGHUP pid

mine is

odroid@odroid:~/MagicMirror$ ps -ef | grep motion
root      7756     1  0 Mar08 ?        00:14:21 motion

pid = 7756

or reboot

there is a bug in the electron browser that causes the black screen.

i did

npm remove electron
npm install electron@1.7.9

and it works fine now…

someone posted another solution to issue 1243

@zach awesome… thanks… another set of interesting info… had not seen pi-top before

@MichMich thanks for the trust…

@justjim1220 make sure to add an entry to the lifeFormArray that matches the string you define for ‘none’ (no user entry supplied)

@t-architecture99 could u provide a little more info… someone might be able to help you

you can’t install in Desktop… its protected…

use your home folder… then make a shortcut to start the mirror

nice work!!

as we have transitioned the Forum to new systems and newer NodeBB software, we are still finding things we need to adjust…

so daily we will need to restart … its about 5pm US eastern time… only down for a couple minutes…

thanks for your patience

@steff92 if u have a keyboard press ctrl-shift-i ( letter i) to open debug console.

Or start mirror in Dev mode, not full screen

npm start Dev

Alt-tab will also walk u between the available windows

@hayman those are YOUR user Id and password on GitHub, right?

this Debian Stretch: deactivate screen blanking

says

add those lines to

/home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart 

note that is a file that is USER based…
