@sakliadem what is the problem with displaying output?
node helper starts python script in background
python script does print
node helper gets stdout text from running python script
node helper sends to front end
front end receives, processes and creates content
front end tells mm new content is available by calling updateDom()
mm calls getDom() to get new content to display where module position is
@mumblebaj no package.json, so nothing to do and nothing gets done
@N6NG yes, npm isn’t installed WITH node…
use my script… then u don’t have all this hassle
@Jarhead96097 would be interested in knowing if my upgrade script avoided this problem
@Jarhead96097 remove all the options except
apiKey
and
locationID
default type is current
default provider is openweathermap
this is on pi, or windows, or ??
ok, do this
cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
#added
git checkout modules/default/weather/weather.js
git status
then try again
ok, I just did this
{
module: "weather",
position: "top_right",
config: {
locationID: "361058",
apiKey: "xxxxx"
}
},
try that with your openweathermap apiKey
@Jarhead96097 ah, one other question, what is the current node level
node --version
@omnismarthome the config for compliments is in the config.js, right? NOT editing this module source file (which could be replaced)
never edit the module source files.
@omnismarthome NO>>>>>>>>
only where the config.js is located
{
module: "compliments",
position:" ?????",
config: {
compliments: {
anytime: [........],
etc
]
}
}
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron@19.0.6
for the other black screen
see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later/
@aunrea you are in the wrong folder
cd ~/MagicMirror
@kayakbabe when developing a module, dont use pm2
just
npm start
in the MagicMirror folder
ctrl-c top stop.
pm2 is for production
use ssh from your PC, maybe winscp or bitvise ssh client that gives you ssh terminal and file manager over the pi files. then u can edit w notepad++ or vs ode or whatever u like
if u need the dev window you can do it on your PC… never have to touch the pi itself.
if u change the modulename.js, or css, or config.js settings, just reload the page, no restart required
@kayakbabe yes requiring hardware makes it another challenge…
@mumblebaj upgrade? mm yes, package.json is replaced
@Purple u have to install git too…
best to use my script which does all the setup
@CurlyQ12391 there is no touch support in the base mm.
sorry ir frame
mm has mouse turned off by default
in main.css comment out the
cursor:none;
@CurlyQ12391 you should decrease it. let me look at the fix to see what it does
