        Right now the ONLY touch function that I needed was the alarm clock and this module is used for that:
        https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-AlarmClock

        You can turn the touch function on and off.

        I have an official Raspberry Pi 7" touch screen so I had to do nothing to get it to work!! It just worked!
        I plugged a powered speaker into the 3.5 jack on the RPI and I have sound… nothing more to do there.

        What I’d like to do is find out if it’s possible to add the touch function to this module:
        https://github.com/barnabycolby/MMM-Carousel

        BUT I am also using this module:
        https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler

        That turns the modules on and off at different times… at night the only thing that shows is the time and date…
        keeps the glare down :)

                Actually I’m also waiting on this:

                https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K9IVUYM/ref=ya_st_dp_summary

                because I’m curious and want to see if I can make this work on a pi zero :)

                    Looks cool! Can you change the alarm from the GUI rather than the files themselves?

                      @Cheese2face No it has to be done via the config file… ;)

                        Hey, I know this topic is extremely old but I’m really interested in making an alarm clock like this and I was wondering if u could tell me what type of frame you used.

                          Man, I’ve been wanting to do this for so long, just didn’t know how to get touch working… ideally, I’d like to be able to schedule the alarms from the touchscreen, but this would work.

                          The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

                            Ya there’s no way to do it from gui which is annoying but I was going to install a button and it didn’t seem worth it. I just decided to buy a touchscreen instead of a small screen and mirror

                                @BKeyport the touch works the same as a mouse click so there’s nothing to getting it working. You get a 7" or 10" Raspberry pi screen they work really great! :)
