MMM-Swipe - Hand gestures

mochman

@BeLuGe Try running rm -rf node_modules/ inside the MMM-Swipe folder then running npm install again.

BeLuGe

@mochman I have delete the directory and install the packages with npm install
And I have reinstall the complete Raspberry and install only your module.
The error is still there

mochman

I can’t help you then. That was my last option. I don’t receive that error nor do I know what that error means.

@mochman and @BeLuGe can you tell us what are the versions you are using :
Raspbian Jessie or Wheezy, which version of nodes, npm … ?
From where are you running npm start (local, ssh) using sudo or not ?
I have the same issue as @BeLuGe and I would like to debug/understand what’s is the problem.
I already red it could be a nodejs version issue (compiling vs running version)
So guys tell us what are your configuration

Here is mine :
Rpi 3 updated firmware with rpi-update
Raspbian Jessie last version (apt-get update && upgrade && dist-upgrade)
Nodejs last version 6.5.0 ARM version (not sure if it’s 64 bit or 32 bit) from https://nodejs.org
Then install of MM and packages
MM is working fine until I add MMM-Swipe module configuration then got same error message about
Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 49, got 48.

Hope we will find the solution …

BeLuGe

@bob123bob I use Raspbian Jessie last version, Nodejs 6.5.0.
I have test it with Nodejs 5.11.1, the same issue.
I run MM without sudo.

mochman

I’m running:

RasPi 3 with Jessie
NodeJs 6.7.0
Fully updated with

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo rpi-update

I just removed the entire MMM-Swipe Folder

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
git clone https://github.com/mochman/MMM-Swipe
cd MMM-Swipe/
npm install
cd ~/MagicMirror/
sudo npm start

I don’t get any of those errors. I don’t know what module version 49 is?

@mochman Similar issue here. They changed the package.json to fix it. Seems to be a problem with a new Electron version.

You would only get this error if you newly install Magic Mirror (npm install in the MagicMirror folder gets the new package, if you want to reproduce it).

mochman

@Jopyth Thanks! I was able to reproduce the error. I updated the package.json file and it runs correctly.

Did you try to use the HR-SR04 behind the mirror glas? I would like to use it like that but don’t know if the ultrasonic sensor will work behind the glas.

mochman

No, I have some speakers behind some speaker mesh. I put the sensors behind the mesh.

DirkS

Ok thanks for the info. I will try it.

Blamer

I have just installed the MMM-Swipe module and wired up the sensors to the Raspberry for tests. Right now I still do not understand how this modul communicates with the other Magic Mirror modules. How do I have to config e.g. the calender module or the clock module to swipe left or right? Or does it just work with special modules?
That´s the only information I found on Github:

This module will use the sendNotification(notification, payload) to send:
notification = ‘MOVEMENT’
payload = ‘Swipe Left’, ‘Swipe Right’, or ‘Press’

Please use as appropriate in your module using notificationReceived(notification, payload, sender)

mochman

@Blamer Yeah, this isn’t created with a certain module in mind. It sends that notification so you can use it in a module you create if you want. I haven’t been really using this too much after I made it so I don’t have any other modules that would utilize the notifications.

bibi

hi @mochman - i don’t really get what is the use of your module… could you please give me some use case pls? thx a lot

Snille

Hi, I’m trying out your module.
I’m not running the Mirror with sudo, is there no other way to get your module to work?
I’m getting this:

{ Error: EACCES, Permission denied
    at Error (native)

    at Pipe._handle.close [as _onclose] (net.js:493:12) errno: 13, code: 'EACCES', syscall: 'init' }

I’m guessing it have to do with the mirror not running as root…
the pi user is a member of the gpio group at least. :)

Thank you.

Best regards Snille

mochman

@Snille Yeah, this module requires root access. I haven’t developed it since I first made it so I’m not sure if it still works with all the updates the pi & MM have gotten. Sorry.

Snille

@mochman No worries, thank you for letting me know. :)

@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?
