    Description:

    Render mesmerizing line animations on your mirror!

    I wanted the mirror to act like a piece of art when I wasn’t using it for Weather, Spotify, Google Calendar etc… The less busy mirror with just the PenPlotting module running creates a really peaceful display. Looks great in the room, and it certainly captures the attention of guests.

    It works on my machine (actively maintaining it if anyone has an issue).

          Will this work in any valid position and with MMM-Pages, using classes? I attempted to add the module to page 2 of my MM setup, but nothing is displaying, and no errors in dev console. Here is my config:

           {
                              module: 'MMM-PenPlotter',
                              disabled: false,
                              position: 'top_left',
                              classes: 'page_2',
                              config: {
                                      imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-PenPlotter/example_svg']
                              }
           },

            @BerkSmash1984 what is the pages config?

            do other modules appear on page_2?

            if u disable pages, does the content appear?

              @sdetweil Thanks for the response

              Yes, all other modules appear fine on page 2. Here is my pages config:

                {
                                  module: 'MMM-pages',
                                   disabled: false,
                                  config: {
                                          modules:
                                                  [[ "page_1",], ["page_2"]],
                                          // fixed: [ "clock", "MMM-Wallpaper", "MMM-page-indicator" ],
                                          rotationTime: 30000,
                                  }
              },
              

              I did confirm that after disabling MMM-Pages, it does work

                @BerkSmash1984 the module delay time is 65 seconds and u have 30 seconds for pages.

                so the module is waiting, and then gets hidden, restarting on show. then hidden…

                  @sdetweil Thanks! Yup I just realized that too and changed the value for MMM-Pages to 6500 and it works. Only thing now is, if you have a background (I am using MMM-Wallpaper to display random in images from Bing and Chromecast) you will see an outline of the whole image instead of what is being drawn.

                  953bea59-8cf8-427a-8bc3-9a0d201bc7fb-image.png

                  Wonder if there is a way to address that, besides disabling the background wallpaper…

                    @BerkSmash1984 welcome to the fun of backgrounds!

                    somehow you would need to make the image background not transparent, but you will get a big black box instead

                      @sdetweil lol Indeed! Still a cool module. I will likely go back and forth between this and MMM-Wallpapers… Thanks for your help Sam
