MMM-Swipe - Hand gestures

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.

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 Error (native)
    at /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Swipe/node_modules/mmm-gpio/lib/gpio.js:32:18
    at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:209:7)
    at emitTwo (events.js:106:13)
    at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:191:7)
    at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:877:16)
    at Socket. (internal/child_process.js:334:11)
    at emitOne (events.js:96:13)
    at Socket.emit (events.js:188:7)
    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

@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. :)

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?

@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?

@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
