MMM-EasyPix multiple instances

[Bo Barry]

I’m using the Carousel program to have multiple screens (& pictures) displayed (using a bluetooth pointing mouse) and cannot configure EasyPix to do but one.

I tried making a copy of the EasyPix as EasyPix2 and added it to the config file but it didn’t work. Adding pics to the EasyPix config alone didn’t work, but I think it would simply display them sequential without control.

Basically is there a way to have multiple copies of the same module with their name changed to be able to call/use them?

Or perhaps a better module. Going to re-check the carousel module to see if it will do the trick.
Thanks, Bo W4GHV since '54

There are many of those. :-)

Addressing your concerns regarding MMM-EasyPix. You can add multiple instances, with or without making a copy and renaming it.
