        did you test to make sure the buttons work outside MM?

          it seems that the MMM-Jast module is throwing the error:

          [2024-09-16 15:04:00.408] [ERROR] ReferenceError: Log is not defined

            @MarcLandis its because MagicMirror-remote-control is doing a require() on the module js

              Mr @sdetweil
              I tested my button press using:

              import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
              import time

              GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
              GPIO.setup(6, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

              while True:
              input_state = GPIO.input(6)
              if input_state == False:
              print(‘Button Pressed’)
              time.sleep(0.2)

              That worked fine. I found the module MMM-ModuleToggleButton which seemed a bit simpler and directly what wanted to do. The demo script used GPIO 6 so used default. Do i need to use a pull_down resister? Thank Thank you again! VR Anthony

              PS: Sam I looked for a link to buy you a cup of coffee, not found, but if you have one, please forward?

                      Dear Mr @sdetweil
                      I think you are teaching me to fish…Did you see the error message below? Beyond the below, I booted the RPI 3B+, ran the “pinctrl set 6 op dl” command. Started MM and as previously the expected modules were hidden on start up. Pressing pushbutton did not have any affect on the display. I ran the button.py script and the button was sensed as previous. As your time permits I could use another push. Your efforts are VERY appreciated. VR Anthony Baker

                          Please see above, it seems “on-off” is throwing errors. It seems it is used by Remote-Control-Modules as well as Buttons. I wnet back and tried buttons. The error is below: Thank you very much. Anthony

                            @awwbaker yes as i posted before

                            errno: -22,
                            code: ‘EINVAL’,
                            syscall: ‘write’
                            }

                            the os has changed how this needs to be done
                            i posted a link to suggestions on how to resolve it without code changes

                                  @sdetweil Sorry have been on travel last several weeks. No I never did. I have the remote control module in and working just never could not get the button push. I have mmm-GroveGesture installed and working with sensor. Still working towards getting modules to hide and show. Could I ask another question???

                                  What can/should I do on this?:

                                    @awwbaker remote control is loading the main js from other modules, but in the wrong runtime context.

                                    i don’t know why it is doing that

                                        Hi guys, I’ve been trying to figure this out too. I think I’m close with these two files using ‘pinctrl’ instead of ‘/sys/class/gpio/’ but I can’t figure out what I’m missing.

                                        Based on the console log it looks like there’s an issue in my node_helper file, possible with the socketNotification functions because I’m not seeing any of my test messages.

                                        And based on the log files there may be something missing from the package.json file because sometimes I get this error “Error: Cannot find module ‘node helper’ MODULE_NOT_FOUND” but other times I don’t. And I tried running this fix but couldn’t get it to work.
                                        [https://forum.magicmirror.builders/user/jorickjuh](link url)

                                        Other than that I’m not seeing any other errors and module does appear to be working but it’s just not processing any button presses. I’ll keep trying but I’ll post my progress so far on here in case someone can see what I’m missing.

                                        test file:

                                        Module.register("MMM-PinToggleTest", {
                                          defaults: {
                                            pin: 19,
                                            modulesToToggle: ["clock", "calendar"],
                                            interval: 1000
                                          },
                                        
                                        //consol.log("MMM-PinToggleTest is starting...");
                                        
                                          start: function() {
                                            Log.info("MMM-PinToggleTest is starting, sending CONFIG...");
                                            consol.log("MMM-PinToggleTest is starting, sending CONFIG...");

                                              interval: this.config.interval,
                                              pin: this.config.pin
                                              });
                                            },

                                          @ChrisLeduex well, you don’t have any source errors. altho you have 2 start: functions in the modulename.js

                                          I see this as output of the pinctrl command on my pi 4

                                          53and : ip    pd | lo // RGMII_TXCTL/GPIO53 = input
                                          

                                          and this for output of pinctrl 19

                                          19: ip    pd | lo // GPIO19 = input
                                          

                                          so the “pinctrl 19” command and parseInt(“19: ip pd | lo // GPIO19 = input”, 10);
                                          will return 19

                                          I think you meant pinctrl get 19, after sometime prior doing pinctrl set

                                          pinctrl help
                                          shows all it can do

                                            @sdetweil Thank you for catching those, too much copying and pasting.

                                            Removed one of the start functions from the module.js file and also updated this line in the node_helper.js file so now it is returning the pin state instead of the pin number.
                                            //const pinState = parseInt(stdout.trim(), 10);
                                            const pinState = stdout.includes(“hi”) ? 1 : 0;

                                            There still seems to be an issue somewhere in my node_helper.js file though because I’m still not seeing anything from that file in the console. Looking through the forum it seems node_helper file issues are common and I’ve tried implementing a few of the solutions I found there but still haven’t found the problem but I will keep trying. I suspect maybe I’m not nesting my socket notifications correctly.

                                            PinToggleTest.js

                                            Module.register("MMM-PinToggleTest", {

                                                modulesToToggle: ["clock", "calendar"],
                                                interval: 1000
                                              },
