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!

@valid8r

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,
