Trying to install Pir and Screen

N6NG

I installed EXT-Pir and EXT-Screen
When I try to run npm run config:check I get this error:

npm run config:check

magicmirror@2.19.0 config:check
node js/check_config.js

[10.06.2022 11:36.39.092] [INFO] Checking file… /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js

[10.06.2022 11:36.39.363] [ERROR] Line 325 column 11: Parsing error: Unexpected token ‘EXT-Screen’

If I take out the EXT-Screen and run config:check I get the same thing for module: ‘EXT-Pir’

Any ideas?
Thanks

Here is my config.
{
module: ‘EXT-Screen’,
position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
delay: 2 * 60 * 1000
}
},
{
module: ‘EXT-Pir’,
config: {
position: ‘bottom_left’,
debug: true,
gpio: 22,
reverseValue: false
}
},

Hi, maybe this can help:

{
  module: "EXT-Screen",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    delay: 2 * 60 * 1000
  }
},
{
  module: "EXT-Pir",
  config: {
    debug: true,
    gpio: 22,
    reverseValue: false
  }
},

My config now:
{
module: “EXT-Screen”,
286 position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
delay: 2 * 60 * 1000
}
},

I added the 286 line number before postting

npm run config:check results

position: "top_left", is not equal to position: ‘top_left’,

" or ' is an js symbol
‘ is NOT an js symbol

so you have an error on each time you will use ‘ symbol

Note:

in my last lost … I give you and correct the config
just copy and past it

My newest effort and the results

 {
            module: "EXT-Screen",

286 position: “top_left”,
config: {
delay: 2 * 60 * 1000
}
},

same case … “ is not the same like "

in your case : position: “top_left”, is not the same as position: "top_left",

N6NG

The cut and paste version

{
module: “EXT-Screen”,
276 position: “top_left”,
config: {
delay: 2 * 60 * 1000
}
},
{
module: “EXT-Pir”,
config: {
debug: true,
gpio: 22,
reverseValue: false
}
};

I can’t do nothing for your encoding chars…

" or ' is an js char
“ or ‘ is NOT an js char [your case]

when you will understand this … you will solve your issue
try to edit it directly with the pi desktop with geany app

N6NG

Ok… thank youi… I just paste what you had sent… but I will look into geany… I hadn’t heard about that… Thanks
