MMM-GroveGestures

You have to search a bit on the forum.
One idea could be to create 2 calendars instances.
See below post extract :

well… I believe it’s far from being perfect…but at least it seems to do the job…

I created a “new” module which does exactly same / has the same code as the one I want to use, but has a different name (folder named “MMM-Calendar2” -> file named “MMM-Calendar2.js” -> within the line Module.register(‘MMM_Calendar2’)).
Not in the default module folder but into the 3rd party module folder…

And put instance 1 on page 1 and isntance 2 on page 2.

Hello @Sean,
I will look at this in more detail in the module.
Thank you again for your work.

Benjaminh86

@bolish
I will explore this track.
Thanks to you ; you already helped me a lot!

@Sean
it’s weird; the sensor is not active if I do not order:

cd ~ / MagicMirror / modules / MMM-GroveGestures / py
cp grove_gesture_sensor.py.RPI grove_gesture_sensor.py

would not it come from “chmod + x * .sh” where I hurt something? …

Benjaminh86

@bolish
it works!
thanks for your help

Can’t understand.
Do you need to do that shell command per every execution of MM? Have you reinstalled it?
That commands just need to be done once when you install this module.

And that command isn’t related with chmod + x .sh at all.

Check this.

ls ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GroveGestures/py

There should be grove_gesture_sensor.py besides grove_gesture_sensor.py.RPI and grove_gesture_sensor.py.ATB.
Are those files there?

Benjaminh86

@Sean
I have to make this command every start of the pi, knowing that I do not start the MM automatically (pmm2) time to set everything (npm start).
I’ll be watching tonight with
ls ~ / MagicMirror / modules / MMM-GroveGestures / py

Benjaminh86

@Sean
That’s what happens :
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GroveGestures/py
gesture_print.py grove_gesture_sensor.pyc
grove_gesture_sensor.py grove_gesture_sensor.py.RPI
grove_gesture_sensor.py.ATB

@Benjaminh86
If you have those files, you don’t need to execute any manual commands o n MM running

Hi everybody,@Sean and @Benjaminh86
I use this module just for change pages with MMM-Pages and MMM-Pages indicator but after a while, my sensor is unknown.
when i just want to test the sensor with “python gesture_print.py”, i have:

Error with sensor
Paj7620 initialize register finished.

my matrix is good i think:

sudo i2cdetect -y 1

and i have 5 file in /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GroveGestures/py
I restart Raspberry but the result is the same

Can aybody help me please ?

@MisterT

If you get one similar with this (All address are shown), It would be something wrong.
Only 73 should be shown. There might be dead pin or H/W failure.

MisterT

@Sean thanks for your answer it was a H/W failure I2C was not activate and i don’t know why ? I enabled I2c with raspi-config and shutdown the pi. I pluged my sensor again and it works

@Sean Hi mate, just dipping my toe in to the whole Magic Mirror world and loving it. Was just wondering if there’s any way to control MMM-Carousel and MMM-CECControl using the output from MMM-GroveGestures?

I’m thinking

Clockwise for next slide
Anti clockwise for previous slide
UP to send the wake up signal on HDMI
Down to send the sleep signal on HDMI

A Former User

@jim-dw
Well, I’m not the author of those modules, so Ask these to the creator of MMM-Carousel / MMM-CECControl ;(Or need to check by yourself)

Are there notifications for that purpose?
Or Are there method of module class for that purpose?
Or controllable by external shell script or HTTP API?

At least one of them possible, it could.

jim.dw

@Sean lol. Good point.

I guess what confused me is this code below. I understand ‘clock’ or ‘newsfeed’ can be swapped out for ‘mmm-ceccontrol’ or ‘mmm-carousel’ it’s just figuring out how I send the command.

Is it “module.hide()” that needs to be replaced?

Sorry for this. Still learning

moduleExec: {
module: [“clock”, “newsfeed”], // [] will be all modules.
exec: (module, gestures) => {
module.hide()
}
}

A Former User

@jim-dw
right. “.hide()” is a common method of every module should have. Usually, module developer need to implement that method by his own or just leave it as inheritance from parent class. So, every module will have that “hide()” method definitely.
Now, let’s see your needs.
For example;
If MMM-Carousel has specific method like “changePage(pageNo)”(IDK whether really it exists o not), you can call that method with “moduleExec”
However I’m not the author of MMM-Carousel, so don’t know it supports or not. Ask to the author.

sdetweil

@Sean hide() technically turns into a suspend function call in the module
show() turns into resume()

jim.dw

@Sean You know what, I think I understood that mate. Thank you. I guess I’m gonna have to learn a little bit of python. Thank you

banbutcher

in the readme file it says it doesnt work behind spy glass, does that include regular glass with a reflective film?

im guessing that it wont work but hoping that it will! :)

thanks

A Former User

@banbutcher
Not tested, so not sure. The issue relies on the thickness of the glass.
