hey again really nice vid! Very cool! How did you do the flaring of the lights on the side? I missed that. That is pretty slick!

@Grensom 6 жыл бұрын

qwarlock Z Wgen downloading the Software for the MagicMirror, pin 25 is the indication light and the negative part of the LED goes to GND on the Radpberry Pi. I used the MOSFET as seen in the schematic in this video to allow the low voltage from pin25 to control the lights dimming on and off.

@Grensom 6 жыл бұрын

Thought this comment was on my other video, sorry. When downloading this Google AIY, it automatically is programmed to use pin25 of the Pi an indication output - so no extra programming is required. Watch the build video I linked in the description and follow the schematic and you'll be all set.

@@Grensom nice work, really apreciate the vids! just wanted to point out something thats had me confused. pin25 is ground, so i'm assuming its BCM 25 (Pin 22). Everywhere i read its pin25, but that doesnt make sense. the circuit diagram also looks like its going to ground :s googles aiy page says bcm25 though so i'll try that. Thanks again though, looking forward to more tutorials on this if you plan to make them. Alexa setup would be great :)

Thank You so much @Grensom ! I set up my MagicMirror thanks to you. I also added a spotify module (MMM-nowPlayingSpotify), but it is too big for me, and I am not able to place it in the center, on the right side.... thanks for your help !

@trevorlaporte5951 6 жыл бұрын

I also haven't been able to figure out resizing. For the right center placement, it doesn't seem like there is an option to but it right or left in the center, just middle center. You could two or so modules top_right and the spotify module as the last top right (because they will stack) and that might leave it around the center right. If appears that the placement options are top_bar, top_left, top_center, top_right, upper_third, middle_center, lower_third, bottom_left, bottom_center, bottom_right, bottom_bar, fullscreen_above, and fullscreen_below. That's according to github. I'm not sure if middle_right would work, because it's not in that list, but I guess it's worth a shot.

And can u make any videos showing me how. Or can I just run apps from Google play on rasberri. Obviously I want it to b legal about the whole thing. Thanx in advance for ur response.

Is it possible to get the weather data from another service? For example where I live, the Norwegian service yr.no gives very accurate forecasts (even though I don't live in Norway) and their data is free to use. And is it possible to get a more detailed forecast for today rather than having the whole week? 🙃

@Tsa12343 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, there are actually two modules for this; one official from Yr.no and one unofficial. I've installed both and done a little testing, seems like they complement each other as the official one shows the current weather, whereas the unofficial one shows a forecast. The modules can be found here: github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-Party-Modules#weather
