there is a general design your module have to look like
you have to create a directory in ~/MagicMirror/modules/YOUR_MODULE_NAME
then create a file YOUR_MODULE_NAME.js
Module.register("YOUR_MODULE_NAME",{
//here comes the rest of the code for module I posted above
});
then create a file node_helper.js
const NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
const fs= require("fs");
module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
//here comes the part of the nodehelper after the 3 dots as posted above
});
then it’s really strange that you can’t find the driver, did you wrote v412 or v4l2 ?
looks like you typed 1 but it should be a lowercase L
strange this is the driver for the camera module
do you have enabled the camera module?
can you guys try sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2 in the console before starting the mirror
this sounds that your cam is not getting recognized as a valid webcam
voice recognition and installer are finished, but need to build the module itself
@alexyak still in development was working most of the time on different modules

@dominic this should give you an idea how to solve your problem, I just wrote it down maybe you have to adjust something a little bit and it’s not a finished solution
const fs = require('fs');
...
socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
if(notification === 'START'){
this.config = payload;
this.readData();
setInterval(() => {
this.readData();
}, this.config.updateInterval);
}
},
readData: function(){
//to read a file to do the following
fs.readFile('YOUR FILE PATH', (err, data) => {
if (err) throw err;
this.sendSocketNotification('DATA', data);
});
}
defaults: {
updateInterval: 30*60*1000 //reads the file every 30 mins
},
start: function(){
this.sendSocketNotification('START', this.config);
},
socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
if(notification === 'DATA'){
this.dataFile = payload;
this.updateDom();
}
},
getDom: function(){
var wrapper = document.createElement('div');
if(this.dataFile){
wrapper.innerHTML = this.dataFile;
} else {
wrapper.innerHTML = 'No data';
}
return wrapper;
}
@alexyak the logs from @trividar show only state hdmi on never hdmi off, so maybe the check for on off is not correct in the module, as an idea create a dev branch where you don’t check with tvservice -s, just set a variable hdmi true/false after you running a command and starting with true in the start method of the nodehelper and let them checkout this branch
I will create a module next week, just tell me in a personal message what should be displayed in the module (have no clue about baseball and what data can be interesting) as its not related to the nfl module
@trividar I thought the commands are working for you, as you pointed out 2 hours ago? I was struggling with this myself for a seperate module, it didn’t work in the terminal i had to login at tty6 or with the solution I posted I got weird colors and a zoom effect on my screen, but in the node_helper it worked at least for me.
@trividar @cowboysdude paviro is also using the same code lines in his pir sensor module and a user had similar issues, maybe his solution also work for you

@Argentum if you provide me tracking ids that work with those sites i will add them for sure
maybe the module of paviro can give you a kickstart https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/blob/master/node_helper.js
he’s using pyshell, you can use this as well
thats exactly what i meant but you would go for spawn not exec
just post your progress and questions, the others and I will help you creating your module
you could run the python script as a childprocess in the node_helper and then listen on stdout, when you receive data you could send a socket notification to your module and then display it on the mirror
