My First Mirror :)

It was incredibly engaging and offered a significant learning curve.

Thanks to the users here for help!

@bhepler said in MMM-Globe rotates very slowly and haltingly:

@Syosse - The reason for the slow & flashing is because that module is pure Javascript and doesn’t use hardware acceleration at all. It’s using the CPU to do all the work.

I’ve been toying around with a 3D accelerated version of that module but I got distracted. It didn’t look super hard. Mostly just playing around with some free libraries.

allright thanks so much for the information!

So is there no other solution than replacing the Raspberry Pi and getting one with a higher CPU?

Hello

Does anyone know why it doesn’t rotate smoothly and is always so slow and it always flashes white?
I have a Raspberry Pi4 with 2GB Ram and the TV Samsung 55 Inches FHD.

Thank so much!

@sdetweil said in MMM-Todoist:

yep, missing library…
do this…
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Todoist
npm install request

note that there are 6 - 8 missing libraries. as we clean up MM from using old dead stuff to newer supported code, some of the older modules didn’t know they were using libs from our packaging… which are no longer there…

Perfect it works!! Thanks man

Last thing how can i hidde the Projectname ?

I have added showProject: false

{
		module: 'MMM-Todoist',
		position: 'bottom_right',	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
		header: 'Todoist', // This is optional
		config: { // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			hideWhenEmpty: false,
			accessToken: '5b1608a7747cccccc0162a553e',
			maximumEntries: 60,
			updateInterval: 10*60*1000, // Update every 10 minutes
			fade: false,
			showProject: false,
			// projects and/or labels is mandatory:
			projects: [2326180937], 
			
      }
	}

@sdetweil said in MMM-Todoist:

ok, that means its not a syntax error
show me the output of npm start
if you use pm2 to auto start, do this
pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

when done with tests
pm2 status

and use the number of the line(usually 0)
pm2 start 0

Thanks for the Reply:

i have run this command:

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

Hello everyone

Unfortunately, I’ve been trying to get the Todoist module to work for weeks. When I edit the config, Magicmirror no longer starts, only the Rasperrypi desktop appears. What am I doing wrong here?

I have also insert the other Modules to show that the other modules works only MMM-Todoist not working and when i delete the Module Magic Mirror works perfect…

{	   module: 'clock',
	   position: 'top_left',
},



	{
		module: 'MMM-Todoist',
		position: 'bottom_right',	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
		header: 'Todoist', // This is optional
		config: { // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			hideWhenEmpty: false,
			accessToken: '5b1608*****************************53e',
			maximumEntries: 60,
			updateInterval: 10*60*1000, // Update every 10 minutes
			fade: false,      
			// projects and/or labels is mandatory:
			projects: [2326180937], 
			labels: [ "MagicMirror", "Important" ] // Tasks for any projects with these labels will be shown.
      }
	},



{
    module: 'MMM-MonthCalendar',
    position: "top_left",
    header: "",
    config: {
        updateDelay: 5,
        showAdjacentMonths: true
    }
},

Thank You so much!

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror logo appears at Boot and then the Raspberry desktop:

@Syosse we got it working in chat

Finally it works many many thanks to @sdetweil

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror logo appears at Boot and then the Raspberry desktop:

@Syosse did you execute the command output from first

pm2 startup 

yea of course:

Admin@magicmirror:~ $ pm2 startup
[PM2] Init System found: systemd
[PM2] To setup the Startup Script, copy/paste the following command:
sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u Admin --hp /home/Admin

thanks so much

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror logo appears at Boot and then the Raspberry desktop:

@Syosse said in Magic Mirror logo appears at Boot and then the Raspberry desktop:

Oh man, what was the problem?

the pm2 startup generated command fails when in a script suddenly

but it works when done manually…

I have issue open since May
https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/issues/5582

thanks man , unfortunately there is still a problem as soon as I enter the following commands it works and magic mirror starts but after reboot the desktop comes back

with this command Magic Mirror starts

pm2 start  ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror_new.json

after this command it still works

pm2 save

and after this reboot command the raspberry pi restarts and it shows the desktop instead Magic Mirror.

 sudo reboot

thanks so much

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror logo appears at Boot and then the Raspberry desktop:

@Syosse and then if you do

pm2 start  ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror_new.json

if it works, then
pm2 save
then
sudo reboot

Omg it works!!

Oh man, what was the problem?

Thanks soo much !!!

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror logo appears at Boot and then the Raspberry desktop:

@Syosse ok, try this then

cat  ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror_new.json

thanks so much!

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror logo appears at Boot and then the Raspberry desktop:

@Syosse can u also paste the contents of

~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_setup.log

yea of course:

Thanks so much!

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror logo appears at Boot and then the Raspberry desktop:

@sdetweil is Admin the root user, or the userid u created at SD card startup time?

pm2 will run as user not root

Admin is the Credentials that i insert at the beginning of Install Raspberry Pi Imager:

ls ~/MagicMirror/installers -laF:

Thanks so much!

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror logo appears at Boot and then the Raspberry desktop:

@Syosse you don’t need to run all the commands

the install asks if u want to turn off the screensaver. if you said yes, then it’s done

if u said no then you would run the screensaver off script it’s the exact same script code. it’s just there if you changed your mind.

now on to the pm2 thing
same same. but

in some systems the automation script has trouble

do this

pm2 startup

it will output a command to execute
copy/paste that command and hit enter

when it’s done do

pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
pm2 save

then reboot

All right thanks for the Information with the Screensave, now its for me clear.
I have done u Command but it shows me : [PM2][ERROR] Script not found: /home/Admin/up

do u know why ?

Thanyk so much!

@bhepler said in Magic Mirror Mirror/Foil Question:

@Syosse - In my experience, the light transmission from film is very different than a one-way mirror glass. The film is a compromise for those on a budget. The film will not let as much light through from the monitor as a purchased piece of mirror glass. In my case, the film lets in about 30% of the monitor’s display and the mirror glass lets 50% through.

Ok, now it’s clear, thank you very much. I’ve now ordered a mirror glass.

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror Mirror/Foil Question:

@Syosse there are two guys that are helping with mirror glass supply in Europe

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10812/new-list-29-06-2021-two-way-community-order-for-mirror-glass-for-all-european-countries-open-until-at-least-10-people-have-entered/

and

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15553/new-2-way-mirror-supplier-lower-prices-and-lead-times

Perfect thanks i will contact him.

Hello
I ran following commands from a tutorial

1.) Install Magic Mirror:
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)”

2.) Turn off screen saver and setup pm2 to autostart MM on boot.
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/screensaveroff.sh)”

3.) Add using pm2 to autostart MagicMirror at bootup
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”

This is the Command Screen:

Anyone know why it shows only the Desktop and not the Magic Mirror ?

Thanks!!!

@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror Mirror/Foil Question:

@Syosse the film just serves the same purpose as the mirror tinting applied to the glass…

the film is ‘less expensive’, but also ‘less quality’

the mirror reflection is behind the glass… but in front of the monitor.
its transmission rate defines how it exposes the content behind it…

0% means nothing gets thru from behind… its a real mirror.
100% means everything gets thru, its glass…

different companies provide different transmission rates, and the colors of the films can be different…

perfect thanks for the information so u can choose between these 2 solution:

Film: less quality but cheaper price
Glass /Mirror with tinting better quality and cost more.

u can recommend a glass with 60-80% transmission ?

thank u
