hi @LukeCodewalker,
thx for your feedback and help, it’s much appriciated :) i agree with the static image and your idea with Nasa is interesting. what i had in mind when i open this post was regarding this here what is your opinion about it?
greetings -
I like the idea of having some sort of dynamic data representation of earth, but im not a big fan of the nasa data.
I like this model beter … Link -
-
So I made a small test here:
[card:LukeSkywalker92/MMM-Globe]so I could easily make the image update every x minutes and make configs for image-size and image-style just by changing the image-path.
-
@LukeCodewalker wow that’s great! i will test it tonight :) noob question : is it ok to git clone your files anywhere or it should be located in MM modules folder?
-
@bibi I think you have to clone it to the modules folder. otherwise MagicMirror won’t find it. Just do it the normal way.
-
small preview =)
I’ll have to write a readme, then I’m done.
If you want to use a custom picture you just have to put your link in the config file and the module automatically uses this image. -
So here it is =)

@LukeCodewalker wow! you made a great job here! thx alot for your time/work/involvment!

@bibi this code utilizes WebGL which brings RPI to its knees. You can run the MM on a different more powerful hardware, though. As for the module, I have got a POC working on my dev box with a sample data.
-
Yes I am also leaning heavy on creating a bigger mirror running on a much more powerful board.
Can’t decide if I want to use a mini pc or itx board…
-
@alexyak which is your dev box if i may ask?
-
@bibi Macbook Pro
-
Small correction about WebGL on RPI - the chromium/hardware will not even run. You will an error message that it’s not supported.
-
Here’s how the module based on WebGL looks like on my dev box:

It displays twitter stream of the tweets that have location. Red lines signify the negative sentiment and green positive. White is neutral.

@alexyak Very nice job! it’s exactly what I had in mind when I open this topic. Sad that can’t be run on RPI…
