Platform (Hardware/OS): Raspberry PI 3

Module version: Newest build 10/13/2018
Description of the issue: Cannot get module working. Using microphone from Amazon that PI recognizes at ID 1. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UZY2YQE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Can you share the content of your error log?
fewieden,
thanks for the reply! Are the logs located at .npm?
the module has a dedicated error log in the modules directory
fewieden,
Thanks for the reply! I went through all the files in the module directory and I cannot find the log file.
Ok the error log is not there, that means the problem you have occurs even before the module is started. Can you check if you get errors in the terminal in which you run MM²?
fewieden,
Here is my mm-out.log, minus account info.

This sounds wrong to me No helper found for module: MMM-voice., As you can see on your screenshot there is a node helper. Do you have something special in the config or put the module in a wrong place?
I just did a fresh install of Raspian. I followed the install instructions starting with cloning and running the dependencies install within this folder /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-voice-master. I then ran NPM Install in the same folder. Lastly I put this in my config
{
module: "MMM-voice",
position: "bottom_bar",
config: {
microphone: 3,
}
},
I restarted as well but still no microphone. All the other default modules show up with no problems. I also ran this to double check my syntax:
pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check
magicmirror@2.5.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
node tests/configs/check_config.js
Checking file... /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)
I checked the logs at /home/pi/.pm2/logs mm-out.log
and still see this No helper found for module: MMM-voice.
I see the node_helper.js in the folder but NPM is not loading it.
Makes me wonder if the newest Magic Mirror build is possibly causing the issue?
Thanks for any help!
I think your problem is, that you downloaded the module instead of cloning it. Sorry that I didn't catch that on the first screenshot you send.
Loading modules depends on the name and your module directory name is wrong. You need to remove -master, then it should find the node helper.
Config module name has to match directory name.
Directory name has to match the file name inside.
The file name has to match the string inside the file Module.register('MMM-voice', {
By downloading a project on github, the branch name gets appended. If you clone it via git clone this doesn't happen.
fewieden,
Thanks and great catch! I re-imaged my PI and did a git clone https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-voice.git and proceeded with bash dependencies.sh. I was successfully able to get the microphone icon but it said error. I checked the forums and saw this post which suggested running this command. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
sudo ldconfig
This fixed the issue. (On a side note after running the dependencies I did run a "npm install")
Everything is working great now! I just need to figure out how to Wake Up the mirror after I tell it to go to sleep. I wait a while and do the same procedure, Magic Mirror, Voice, Wake Up. but nothing happens.
Thanks for all your help!!
Resolved.
