Interestingly, if I use position: upper_third, the candle is positioned in the same location as “middle_center”…?

Just out of curiosity, when I use position: middle_center to put my Advent module in the center of my mirror, the candle/module essentially ends up left_center.

Thoughts? I looked up the .css file but wasn’t quite sure how to interpret it correctly.

Thanks

@Wedee Perfect! Thank you.

@lolobyte Got it! Thanks! Wife love it.

@lolobyte Thanks!!! This helped. I saw from this that I had mis-typed “bottom_center” as “bottom-center”!

You would think that as an Engineer, details would be something I would excel at, apparently that is not the case!

@lolobyte said in Advent Module not working for me...?:

@valid8r

have u tried the snow module?

looks nice with advent together.

I’m having trouble using git clone with the https:// link you provided. can you confirm that is the correct fork? Also does the module use position: ?

Thanks guys - I’m embarrassed to admit that I had typed “bottom-center” instead of “bottom_center”!

If I want my modules to use up all of my screen real-estate, how do I make the “top-left” equate to the far left, upper corner of my monitor? Is it the CSS file I need to modify?

Caveat: this is the first module I have added to my mirror. I believe I have followed the instructions correctly. I did the git pull to get the MMM-Advent files into my /modules folder and I see the MMM-Advent folder. I modified config.js to add the module to my array. I did not use any configuration parameters at all and did not include “config:” in my config.js file.

When I reboot my mirror, nothing displays at all and if I comment out the lines in my config.js file that I added my MM returns to normal. Is there a requirement for a config: parameter that I don’t know about?

Thanks in advance,

Sorry, figured it out. My own stupidity that I prefer not to reveal and of no help to anyone to learn from.

Please ignore.

I’ve edited my /boot/config.txt file to include the command
display_rotate=1

but my display isn’t rotating…

To be clear. I have my MM booting on startup. I then am using Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to the command line and from there logging into my pi with username: pi password: raspberry from which I get to the /boot directory where I edit config.txt… Is this correct? If so, what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,

@frog If I could give you reddit Gold, I would do so! I never thought of the power supply. I changed out my cheap usb brick with a real power supply and voila, all was good in the land of Magic Mirror except I can’t yet rotate my display.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! this was driving me crazy!

So I’ve got MM running on my RPi 3 and am pleased. Oddly however, when I disconnect the RPi from my ‘programming monitor’ by unplugging the HDMI and the micro-usb power and plug in my MM monitor (mounted in my frame), on power-up my MM monitor simply displays the ‘rainbow cube’ in a slow pulsing mode (every 10 seconds or so). All I disconnect is the power and the HDMI. I can connect a different RPi (a zero) successfully to the MM monitor so I know that the HDMI and monitor are working well. There must be some setting that is allowing it to work with one but not the other monitor. Any ideas? Going crazy. Thought it was the cable until I found that my zero works just fine with my MM monitor…

Thanks!
