Yes, Amazon, ebay, electronic stores in your city. And there are dozens of online shops for raspberry, arduino and all kinds of add-ons.

If you download and unzip modules, you don’t have a folder called .git, and without this folder you cannot run git pull to update the specific module, when the developer releases a new version.
Everything else of course works fine.

Enter your module folder:

git pull origin master

Nice story, my dad is in the same “situation”. He is a paying guest (at least dict.leo.org uses this as translation for Pensionär) and is now trying to find new hobbies and tasks. He enjoys going to the hardware store looking for some nice tools to build stuff or repair things in my parents house. From time to time he tackles with different linux distributions, and he mentioned he wants to buy a raspberry :D

And please let us know the reactions of your son. I can imagine I would be kind of irritated but proud of my dad building such a thing on his own, working his way through all these difficulties.

@edubey said in Send Notification from one module to another module:

@strawberry-3.141

Okay, so its more of a broadcast to all modules, not to any specific…right?

That’s right. This command sends out a broadcast to all modules. As long as you use a broadcast notification no other module reacts on you don’t have any trouble.

You are welcome. I guess you will need to find out on your own if the laptop fullfills your requirements. Power consumption is one aspect, another is loudness and heat due to fans in your laptop.

Please look at this thread. I know it is hard to find, so I added the “windows” flag

I shouldn’t go out with the dog. The long switch block was my first spot too, but you beat me to it :)

Press CTRL + Q instead :)

Then please post the content of your config.js file, however please remove passwords, private calendar links and apikeys

No, the compliments module is not capable of any schedules. Well … currently, maybe someone wants to jump in :D

@ArcherProject
I assume you already created a valid copy of your config file, right? Then open up ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js in any editor. You can use an editor in terminal (nano for example) or you can use any text editor with gui (leafpad for example).

What exactly would you like to do? I guess it would be some overkill listing all possible options.

Are you working directly on your raspberry (or using vnc)?
Then press alt + tab to switch to desktop or terminal (if it’s running). Or press ctrl+q in browser

@schlachtkreuzer6
Right. The .git folder is not there, so git does not recognize this repository.
I’d suggest to remove the entire folder and git clone again.
