      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

          @Bo-Barry said in MMM-EasyPix multiple instances:

          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.

          {
              module: "MMM-EasyPix",
          	position: "top_center",
          	config: {
          		picName: "18.jpg", // Enter the picture file name.
          		maxWidth: "75%",        // Size picture precisely. Retains aspect ratio.
          		sounds: ["1.mp3", "me2.mp3"],  // mp3 sound file names in quotes seperated by commas for Hello-Lucy
          		updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000,     // updates display
          	        animationSpeed: 3000,
          	}
          },
          {
          module: "MMM-EasyPix",
          position: "top_center",
          config: {
          picName: "4.jpg", // Enter the picture file name.
          maxWidth: "75%",        // Size picture precisely. Retains aspect ratio.
          sounds: ["1.mp3", "me2.mp3"],  // mp3 sound file names in quotes seperated by commas for Hello-Lucy
          updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000,     // updates display
              animationSpeed: 3000,
          }
          },
          {
          module: "MMM-EasyPix2",
          position: "top_center",
          config: {
          picName: "alien.png", // Enter the picture file name.
          maxWidth: "75%",        // Size picture precisely. Retains aspect ratio.
          sounds: ["1.mp3", "me2.mp3"],  // mp3 sound file names in quotes seperated by commas for Hello-Lucy
          updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000,     // updates display
              animationSpeed: 3000,
          }
          },
