@cowboysdude awesome!!

@hayseed

wrong image upload link… 3rd icon from the right in editor

@mwel1977 thats just bad logging

edit the node_helper.js file in the MMM-Solar folder, at the end

after this

if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
					var jsonData = JSON.parse(body);
				        self.sendSocketNotification("SOLAR_DATA", jsonData);
				}

add this

				else{
				   if(error!=null){
					console.log("api request error ="+ JSON.stringify(error));
				   }
				   else{
					console.log("api response code error ="+ response.statusCode);
				   }
				}

i get this

Notification: GET_SOLAR Payload: [object Object]
api response code error =401

401 is authentication failed

@kicifans awesome… thanks for the feedback…

@elporcho ‘permission denied’ sounds like you used sudo npm install, which leaves files owned by root, not the normal pi user.

Best to erase and start again

@cowboysdude no ‘mistakes’ just challenges. Always glad to look at new code

@hayseed i agree, don’t know what it is supposed to do…

I submitted that code to the MMM-Solar author for the future

@kicifans said in MMM-NewsAPI after MM2.25.0 update:

Cannot find module ‘node-fetch’

yes, we removed node-fetch in this release, and here is another module that didn’t document using it…

see general purpose recovery steps here
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

Try npm install valid-url from the Magic mirror folder

@Hadr1en if u search for “Velcro tape” u might find sources near you.

they make all widths and strength of the hooks. mounting pi directly with the sticky side… hm, might want to use a cheap case to hold the pi, and velcro that

@BerkSmash1984 the module delay time is 65 seconds and u have 30 seconds for pages.

so the module is waiting, and then gets hidden, restarting on show. then hidden…

@costascontis motion is trying to write it’s log to /var/log, which requires root authority. I think u can change this in motion.conf

@mumblebaj said in MMM-Scenes2:

So it depends on the module design and data provider etc

correct… other users might not know or understand the data provider issues, so in my opinion, if you are posting for other users consumption, you should consider this as a design requirement… (to be debugged later if you don’t do it from the beginning)

@sdetweil well, its a side effect of the way the code works…

if (object[key][key] !==‘undefined’)

will throw an access error if either of the two keys are not in the object… BEFORE you can check the results with the if…

SO, wrap with try/catch and all is well…

@Mykle1 come on man! you rock. lots of beautiful things I wouldn’t even THINK to try…

@BerkSmash1984 welcome to the fun of backgrounds!

somehow you would need to make the image background not transparent, but you will get a big black box instead

@sdetweil so.
MMM-Swipe says

 'Swipe_left'

but MMM-Pages is listening for

'PAGE_CHANGED' - Set the page to the specified payload page.
'PAGE_INCREMENT' - Move to the next page.
'PAGE_DECREMENT' - Move to the previous page.

so, some other module needs to translate. I don’t know of a module that would do this…
receiveNotiication Swipe_Left, and then sendNotification PAGE_DECREMENT (after checking to see if above page 0 I would assume).

@draxiom very cool…

@mykle1 there is no better thought motivator than posting on a live forum…!!
