@sdetweil Oh ok i was just following the instruction, so i used npm start and now it has another error

[13:13:56.836] [LOG]    Error: unknown hardware: "BCM2835"

Any Ideas?

@sgarg15 something to do with the MMM-Swipe config info

sgarg15

@sdetweil But it is the same as the one in the readMe

readme:

	{
		module: 'MMM-Swipe',
		position: 'bottom_left',	// Doesn't matter after it's setup.  It should be blank.
									// Best results in one of the side regions like: bottom_left
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			echoLeftPin: 24, 		//Left Sensor's BCM Numbered Echo pin - REQUIRED
			triggerLeftPin: 23, 	//Left Sensor's BCM Numbered trigger pin - REQUIRED
			echoRightPin: 26, 		//Right Sensor's BCM Numbered Echo pin - REQUIRED
			triggerRightPin: 25, 	//Right Sensor's BCM Numbered trigger pin - REQUIRED
			useAsButton: false,		//Enable a GPIO output when you "press".
			buttonPin: 8,
			verbose: false,		
			calibrate: false	
		}
	}

My config:

	{
		module: 'MMM-Swipe',
		position: 'bottom_left',	// Doesn't matter after it's setup.  It should be blank.
									// Best results in one of the side regions like: bottom_left
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			echoLeftPin: 27, 		//Left Sensor's BCM Numbered Echo pin - REQUIRED
			triggerLeftPin: 24, 	//Left Sensor's BCM Numbered trigger pin - REQUIRED
			echoRightPin: 23, 		//Right Sensor's BCM Numbered Echo pin - REQUIRED
			triggerRightPin: 22, 	//Right Sensor's BCM Numbered trigger pin - REQUIRED
			useAsButton: false,		//Enable a GPIO output when you "press".
			buttonPin: 8,
			verbose: true,		
			calibrate: true	
		}
	},

@sgarg15 said in MMM-usonic Problems:

Error: unknown hardware: “BCM2835”
at /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Swipe/node_modules/mmm-usonic/lib/usonic.js:34:29

no idea, you would have to read the code there

sgarg15

@sdetweil so i had a look and apparently this was missing || hardware === 'BCM2835' from else if (hardware === 'BCM2709' || hardware === 'BCM2835') but when i added that now its giving a different error

@sdetweil after reasearching a bit i dont think this modules works anymore with the new updates of pi and MMM a ssaid here
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/205/mmm-swipe-hand-gestures/32

sdetweil

@sgarg15 looks like the usonic needed sudo mode…too… dumb

welcome to the ‘fun’ part of open source, constantly changing runtimes and volunteer developers

sgarg15

@sdetweil so is this problem solvable or should i find another module?

sdetweil

@sgarg15 no idea… don’t know anything about all that stuff… I’ve seen a few other people doing swipe actions on their mirrors… don’t recognize any big issues, other than its a tediuos setup…

sgarg15

@sdetweil oh ok oh well then
