      @rkorell said in Again -- MMM-Navigate can't get installed.:

      gpio=19=ip,pu

      Thanks for your help, , but it did not solve the error.
      I still get:

          @sdetweil Yes, sure. I assume there must have been a change in the GPIO handling, but have not figured out where. :(

            Only thing that comes in my mind that you have either put cable on wrong GPIO or cable is broken.

            Screenshot 2025-03-01 195116.png

            As per default you have either to use GPIOPins: [26,20,19]//rotary cw, rotary ccw, rotary press (BCM Numbering - marked yellow in the above picture) or (if occupied) enter the correct BCM (!) numbers in config of module.

            If this is all correct, module should work.

              @crowimu Last thought - after some googeling…
              Axled (the author has a thread about his module.
              In one of his posting he stated
              “rotation and click (Button press) uses the same library (onOff).”.

              “node_modules/onoff/onoff” is part of your error-listing.

              So I can imagine you need this onoff -library to read the GPIO-output.
              Further research on this let me assume that onoff in some kind is associated to node.js (@sdetweil for sure knows more on this than me…).

              At least one onoff library in this context is this one - but I’m not sure if this is the right one.
              May you give it a try…

              edit: I’ve just checked - on my own mirror there is NO onoff directory in “MagicMirror/node_modules/”

              Good luck.
              Ralf

                @crowimu Found in completely different context another hint to onoff - also related to GPIO (in concrete a GPIO related implemetation of a rotary decoder).
                There was a suggestion

                npm install --save onoff@6.0.0
                

                I currently only „assume“ that @6.0.0 is the version - cause the cited post is from 2021 there could be a new version.
                A quick google delivers this page and this one stated

                npm install onoff
                

                Will do the trick…

                Good luck.

                  @rkorell Thank you and all others for the hints, however up to now I did not manage to get the ‘onoff’ and the MMM-Navigate module workingon my system.
                  I have recompiled onoff, installed it globally, changed the node version.
                  Nothing helped yet :(

                  I have started to create a simple module for my needs to control some fuctions with a rotary encoder,
                  https://github.com/crowimu/MMM-RotaryNav
                  It’s early stage, please wish me luck. :)

                    very unfortunate!

                    cross the fingers & good luck for you…

                      @crowimu - Just a quick question: Have you considered to use a newer version of a Pi? A 4B or even 5?
                      Pi2 is somewhat old - may there is a kind of a root cause?

                      Regards,
                      Ralf

                        @rkorell Hi Ralf,
                        I think the quadcore RPi2 is quite sufficient for a Magic Mirror, but I’ve also tested it on a RPi3 with the same results.
                        I don’t like the power consumption of RPi4 and 5 and I also don’t like to add cooling fans to an SBC.
                        So up to now I have always used RPi Zero / Zero2 / RPi 1/2 and 3 smoothly for my projects. :)
