That certainly helped! The code loads now and now it’s stuck on Loading bus info… time to recheck my api codes?

HI there! Thanks so much for tackling this. I seem to be a mess and can’t get it to load. There must be some mistake in my config file as I get the error upon loading. I have checked off all the boxes in the troubleshooting - as in I have an app_id, app_key and I know the atcocode - I have verified all against the live api docs and it runs without error. I will try to load my config entry and see if you guys can help me spot what I entered wrong. Thanks in advance!!

I built the same, and the thing is HOT! I have to install some ventillation and maybe a fan… The monitor itself under the 2 way glass is almost burning to the touch!

I don’t know if you solved this yet, but there is an app for that… it’s called Morning. Panic used to have an amazing app called Status Board but they have discontinued it :( . But if you’re looking for a basic one, use Morning.

Does anyone know the company Canviz ? They do a fairly similar thing to the magic mirror, (although the content that they display is different) - mostly pictures, animation, and things. However, they just decided to share their frame building tutorial for free! Also - if you are struggling with building a frame (and you have a 21.5" monitor your are using for your MM) you can simply purchase a ready made one of their frame! Looks to be MM compatible!

For those of you who don’t know, the Canviz is a monitor inside a frame run by a raspberry pi… :) sound familiar?

*am am not affiliated with canviz at all - just excited to have a proper frame tutorial! *

:) I changed the main.css file. I can tell you what I did to make the font way bigger…

I changed font size (currently says 2em)
and line-height (currently 1.5em)

and then under the .xsmall .small, etc I upped each value by 5

If you want to go smaller - then try making each of those values smaller…

Ah! Ok - sorry for a whole thread… I fixed my own problem by modifying the main.css file instead. :)

I have tried adding a custom font size into the magicmirror custom.css - nothing changed.
I then went into each css file for each module that I wanted to be larger and if it had a font status, i changed it to be 100% (just to see if it worked) and nothing… and -yes, i rebooted the MM after each change. nothing… :( (also - I am running these on 21" monitors)

Did you get this fixed? With the MM running in kiosk mode, you can just and it will load the menu for you to get to the terminal screen. You can work from there or type in (pm2 stop mm) and it will stop the MM. I had a major issue with mine where when I followed the instructions for installation, my wifi wouldn’t work. I had to skip a step (the network config for wireless power) and the wifi comes up just fine.

Hi there! I am building a triple monitor/pi MM system that will go on my living room wall as a family command center. I have it almost entirely up and running (just building the frame now) but when I put it up on the wall, the font is small and this causes us not to be able to read it. Is there a way to set a universally larger font (perhaps in the config.js file) so that everything is larger and we can see it from the middle of the room?
