@KristjanESPERANTO Yes, thanks again.

I’m running this on a Pi Zero 2W. At first it kept freezing because some of my images were way too big. After I resized all of my images to 800 x 600 it’s going great.

@sdetweil

The default value is 10 minutes, so it should never go above the free limit.

@KristjanESPERANTO I updated to the latest MM and the horizontal scroll works but it stutters badly on a Zero2W. I’ve tried changing the settings but none of them give an acceptable appearance. I have a request for an enhancement of the Vertical scrolling feature.

The ticker scrolls up until it gets to the last instrument, then scrolls in the opposite direction. This is fairly ugly. Can it be made to continually scroll in one direction?

@wyovino The current temperature displaying is now correct. I’m guessing this was an issue at the source.

@KristjanESPERANTO Perfect! Thanks. I had tried the performance hints but they didn’t really help. This is a good alternative.

@sdetweil I have a spare Zero2W. Would it make sense to run MM server on that one and have the one on the mirror in brower mode? Do you think that would make a difference in performance?

@sdetweil
I’m using a USB drive. This is so weird. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Right now everything looks good. Even MMM-Jast is working even though there was a warning that it required Node 20.0.0. Sometimes when I reboot it locks up at the GUI screen and I can’t connect remotely.

I have a spare Pi 4 I could use but I’m reluctant because the mirror is in a tiny bathroom and the sound of the cooling fan in noticeable when placed behind the mirror. I guess I could run it without the fan and monitor the temp.

@sdetweil I’m running Bullseye (Raspbian 11)

I ran the setup browser script and selected Surf.

My swapfile size is 2048. Does that need to be increased?

I ran the update script a few days ago after seeing PM2 error messages about the MMM-Jast module requiring Node 22.0.0. I saw posts about issues with node on the Pi 0, but didn’t see a workaround, or at least didn’t understand a workaround.

My current branch is Master
I tried “git checkout -b oldbranch tags/v2.30”

If Pi Zero2w is no longer viable, would a 3B+ work?

@JohnGalt My mirror was sometimes stalling - falling to update even the clock.

@sdetweil

Got it!

In the user crontab:

30 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/bin/pm2 restart mm

Restarts the mirror every day at 2:30 am local time.

As always, thanks for your quick response!

Hi,

I’m trying to restart my mirror nightly with “pm2 restart mm” using a cron job. I’ve tried everything I can think of or find online but nothing works. I’ve created python and bash scripts, used the system crontab and the user crontab. I’ve tried it with and without “sudo” and also running it under the “pi” user. It always works interactively at the command line but not via crontab. Any suggestions?

Also, I saw the warning post about the April 1st upgrade and Pi Zero W. Does that also apply to the Zero 2W?

@KristjanESPERANTO Yes, thanks again.
