MMM-Swipe - Hand gestures

mochman

I’m running:

RasPi 3 with Jessie
NodeJs 6.7.0
Fully updated with

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo rpi-update

I just removed the entire MMM-Swipe Folder

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
git clone https://github.com/mochman/MMM-Swipe
cd MMM-Swipe/
npm install
cd ~/MagicMirror/
sudo npm start

I don’t get any of those errors. I don’t know what module version 49 is?

Jopyth

@mochman Similar issue here. They changed the package.json to fix it. Seems to be a problem with a new Electron version.

You would only get this error if you newly install Magic Mirror (npm install in the MagicMirror folder gets the new package, if you want to reproduce it).

mochman

@Jopyth Thanks! I was able to reproduce the error. I updated the package.json file and it runs correctly.

Did you try to use the HR-SR04 behind the mirror glas? I would like to use it like that but don’t know if the ultrasonic sensor will work behind the glas.

mochman

No, I have some speakers behind some speaker mesh. I put the sensors behind the mesh.

DirkS

Ok thanks for the info. I will try it.

Blamer

I have just installed the MMM-Swipe module and wired up the sensors to the Raspberry for tests. Right now I still do not understand how this modul communicates with the other Magic Mirror modules. How do I have to config e.g. the calender module or the clock module to swipe left or right? Or does it just work with special modules?
That´s the only information I found on Github:

This module will use the sendNotification(notification, payload) to send:
notification = ‘MOVEMENT’
payload = ‘Swipe Left’, ‘Swipe Right’, or ‘Press’

Please use as appropriate in your module using notificationReceived(notification, payload, sender)

mochman

@Blamer Yeah, this isn’t created with a certain module in mind. It sends that notification so you can use it in a module you create if you want. I haven’t been really using this too much after I made it so I don’t have any other modules that would utilize the notifications.

bibi

hi @mochman - i don’t really get what is the use of your module… could you please give me some use case pls? thx a lot

Hi, I’m trying out your module.
I’m not running the Mirror with sudo, is there no other way to get your module to work?
I’m getting this:

{ Error: EACCES, Permission denied

    at Pipe._handle.close [as _onclose] (net.js:493:12) errno: 13, code: 'EACCES', syscall: 'init' }

I’m guessing it have to do with the mirror not running as root…
the pi user is a member of the gpio group at least. :)

Thank you.

Best regards Snille

mochman

@Snille Yeah, this module requires root access. I haven’t developed it since I first made it so I’m not sure if it still works with all the updates the pi & MM have gotten. Sorry.

Snille

@mochman No worries, thank you for letting me know. :)

@mochman
Hey
Since this module does not work anymore, I would like to try to get it running again.
Can you tell me which file or parameters probably need to be adjusted?

yawns

@Michii_M
maybe you could explain that a bit more. What is not working any more? Do you have any error messages? Did you log an issue on github with the developer @mochman ?

Michii_M

@yawns
@mochman said that he did not develop the module any more. Probably the error messages come by updates from the PI and MM. The error messages I can upload later after the work.
From GitHub I have unfortunately no idea at all about the errors, how does it work?

yawns

@Michii_M
On github you can log issues (problems you might have found): https://github.com/mochman/MMM-Swipe/issues

However if mochman is not continuing development of this module then it is not really helpful to log the issue any way. Let’s wait for your error logs and maybe we can find another developer who could jump in

Hello everybody,
After installing the module, when I run it as sudo. I get an error message :

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

Does anyone know how I can get this module to work?

Thank you.

@trisfoz
Hi, i don’t know if you are still trying but i had the same problem. I fixed it by adjusting the usonic.js file. If you check the git page of this project you can find a recent bugfix for the BCM2835.

} else if (hardware === 'BCM2709') {

chagned to

} else if (hardware === 'BCM2709' || hardware === 'BCM2835') {

Applying this fix brought me one step further.

But now i’m stuck at starting MagicMirror as sudo.
