MMM-Carousel & basic KeyBindings not working

brentmatthews

Hi all,

I had set up MMM-Carousel and MMM-KeyBindings with the default suggestions on the module pages for running these two together with a regular keyboard, however the arrow keys are not changing the slides. Please see below, any help would be great.

		{
			module: "MMM-KeyBindings",
			config: {
			evdev: {enabled: false},
			enableKeyboard: true,
			}
		},
		{
			module: "MMM-Carousel",
			disabled: false,
      			position: "bottom_bar", // Required only for navigation controls
      			config: {
        			transitionInterval: 10000, //20000,
        			ignoreModules: ['alert', 'updatenotification', 'MMM-KeyBindings'],
				mode: "slides",				
                		showPageIndicators: true,
                		showPageControls: true,				
				slides: {
          				main: ['clock', 'MMM-OpenWeatherForecast', 'MMM-WOTD', 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow'],
          				"Slide 2": ['clock', 'MMM-OpenWeatherForecast', 'MMM-MyCalendar', 'MMM-TomTomCalculateRouteTraffic', 'MMM-MyWastePickup', 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow'],
					"Slide 3": ['clock', 'MMM-OpenWeatherForecast', 'MMM-WOTD', 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow'],
				},
				keyBindings: {
					enabled: true,
					map: {
						NextSlide: "ArrowRight",
						PrevSlide: "ArrowLeft",
						Pause: "ArrowDown",
						Slide0: "Home"
						},
						mode: "DEFAULT"
	        			}
				},

@brentmatthews can you install mmm-ViewNotifications

so you can tell if keybindings is sending the notification

brentmatthews

@sdetweil There are no notifications being sent when I hit the keyboard buttons.

sdetweil

@brentmatthews so keybindings is having trouble

can you open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i
and select the console tab, and scroll to the top to see if there are any errors reported.

sdetweil

@brentmatthews I installed keybindings and viewnotifications
and I see the keypress for left/right arrow (in the notifications window)

but looking any Carousel it says

if (notification === "KEYPRESS") Log.log(`${this.config.name}: notification ${notification} from ${sender.name}`);

ok… but that doesn’t DO anything except report the keypress…

@sdetweil I will check it out tonight and see if I can find any errors.

@sdetweil I am unable to jump on the computer tonight.

Would the pages module work with keybindings to move through the pages? Or to the hidden page. Essentially want the main page and a second or hidden page that only comes up with a button click.

Also considering the remote module to have the toggle switch to just turn on the extra modules I have shown on the second page when needed.

sdetweil

@brentmatthews i think the default config for keybindings is not correct

@sdetweil I just managed to jump on. I may have to upgrade my mirror as I saw a minimum requirements and my current version of MM was under that. I am trying to find your update scripts at the moment.

@sdetweil I have switched back to MMM-pages as it is much cleaner. I will see what other options I have in the notification sending arena to suit me.

Any simple suggestions welcome.
