MMM-Swipe - Hand gestures

@mochman
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?

[yawns]

@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

Hello everybody,
After installing the module, when I run it as sudo. I get an error message :

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
(node:2253) DeprecationWarning: sys is deprecated. Use util instead.

Does anyone know how I can get this module to work?

Thank you.

Hi, i don’t know if you are still trying but i had the same problem. I fixed it by adjusting the usonic.js file. If you check the git page of this project you can find a recent bugfix for the BCM2835.

} else if (hardware === 'BCM2709') {

chagned to

} else if (hardware === 'BCM2709' || hardware === 'BCM2835') {

Applying this fix brought me one step further.

But now i’m stuck at starting MagicMirror as sudo.

@Melnem
Hi, thanks for your message. It fixed my problem.
I do not know if you have managed to run in sudo at startup but I use PM2.
In the start script :

cd ~
nano mm.sh

In mm.sh I put

cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 sudo npm start

and it seems to work fine.

Thanks again for all your help !

To anyone still looking to continue development of this module or to adjust it so the Mirror does not need to be run as sudo: I started work on a fork to change to using the onoff node module which doesn’t require sudo.

The new version is about 90% there and just needs some additional testing to make sure everything works as intended. Unfortunately, after I put the effort into re-writing a lot of the code, I realized that the sensors and my dog do not get along so I need to try something else.

I’m putting the code out there in case anyone is interested in taking it any further… there are some development notes on the readme page to explain some of the differences in the two versions.

Thank you to @mochman for the original development and inspiration.
