@bhepler Yea i am mainly looking for things that would impress, i like the MMM-Globe module and other suggestions that would look really cool on a mirror and that would impress
-
@sgarg15 - The MMM-Globe is visually impressive. As is the one for the moon.
If your hardware can handle it, look into encom-globe. Visually stunning, but it absolutely overwhelms a RPI 3+. RPI 4 might be able to handle it.
I played around with MMM-IHaveBeenThere and it is pretty slick. Like the encom globe, it’s a resource hog. But if you turn off the animated airplane it’s not so bad.

@bhepler Yea i have a raspberry 2 b+ so i dont think it can handle the ecnom globe module, so could you tell me the one that is like MMM-Globe but for the moon and any other modules that will look really nice and that my raspberry pi will probably be able to handle?
-
@sgarg15 - I would recommend going through @Mykle1’s modules. Dude is a fiend with finding an API and creating a module around it. Just check out the list. Specifically, look at HumanClock, Lunartic and NatureCalendar.
Beyond that, I suggest that you spend some quality time with the Modules -> Showcase section of the forums here.
-
@bhepler cool i will have a look through, for MMM-Globe do you know which style they used to get this ?
-
@sgarg15 - No. And that’s the fun of experimenting. Find out for yourself.
I could give you the answer, but to do so I would have to do all the work of testing out the various options in order to duplicate what you say that you want. And I would end up passing though various options you might want more than this one. It is far better for you to learn the module and figure out what appeals to you.
Knuckle up and learn.
