MMM-Pages and MMM-page-indicator, how to select the page?

[com1cedric]

Hello,

trying to test MMM-Pages and MMM-page-indicator, I have 2 (maybe basic) questions.

After installing MMM-Pages and MMM-page-indicator,

1. how is possible to click (mouse) on the dots, as the arrow of the mouse is not appearing on the mirror?
2. can we switch the pages manually with a touch screen display (e.g with an ipad or a standard touch screen display as iiyama ProLite T2252MSC-B2) ?

Thank you for your interest and have a great day.

Kind regards,

Cédric

Problem solved with the help of this tutorial: https://www.gechic.com/en/raspberry-pi-touch-monitor-rotate-touch-screen-rotate-settings/

wihsing you a great week!

@com1cedric the mouse arrow is turned off by

cursor:none in css/main.css

you can enable it in css/custom.css

html {
       cursor: default;
}

if you have a working touchscreen you can use whatever the touchscreen supports, finger, stylus ( you wouldn’t need the cursor to be shown)

you can change the circles to other icons in custom.css
see here and later posts in this thread

you can also install unclutter on linux which will hide the cursor until the mouse (if any) moves

Wishing you a great day,

@com1cedric did you resolve these questions?

[com1cedric]

@sdetweil hello, currently on holiday, will try next week. Thanks for asking and have a good day

[sdetweil]

@com1cedric did you get a chance to test this out?

@sdetweil Hello Sam, and thank you for asking.
I encountered a problem with the touch screen iyama ProLite T2252MSC-B2 I recently bought, as it finally was not compatible with Raspberry, what I did not realise before buying it.

So, I had to find someting else and with the help of @rkorell (thank you Ralf!) in https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19486/which-solution-for-touching-screen/8, I ordered a other display Hannspree HT221PPB -TOUCH and I hope to receive and test it next week.

I will inform you as soon as I get any results.

Kind regards, Cédric

@com1cedric hello @sdetweil, I’ve received the Hannspree HT221PPB -TOUCH screen and could test your module.

It work well ! … in the landscape mode, but not in the portait mode, after changing the display position in the parameters.

Did you encounter this issue as well?

[sdetweil]

@com1cedric the module does not know anything about page orientation

I would install MMM-ViewNotifications module to see if the click is being processed, and maybe change the background color of the region for indicator to see where that section is on the screen. in auto page cycle mode, the different indicator circles will show which page is active. do they change?

these are not my modules, I just updated pages for new function. and helped other users change the icons via css for indicator

@sdetweil OK, thank you Sam. You’re right indeed, it has nothing to do with the Magic Mirror.

In fact, when I turn the layout right or left with the “Screen Layout editor”, then the “touches” are as “mirrored”. Maybe a configuration problem of the display.

I will ask the display company about this issue.
