MMM-Carousel w/ Slide Navigation

[banbutcher]

@raf the only thing i can think of is to rename the slides without numbers, you dont need them for the keybindings, it sets it automatically:

"default" = slide0, "slide 2" = slide1 etc…

try renaming the slides maybe "zero" "one" "two" etc…

also check whos version of carousel you have as theres 2! :dizzy_face:

look over this, its how i figured it out!! :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

i use vnc from a mac so should be ok!?

@banbutcher

have given the pages a different name, but that is not the solution

[banbutcher]

Did you see which version on carousel you have?

[raf]

@banbutcher
carousel version 0.2.6
keyBindings 1.3.1

[raf]

I have seen at startup it does give a message: (No helper found for module: MMM-Carousel.)
but i don’t know if it is normal and what i can do about it

just checked about the node helper and that comes up on mine too! :)

as for version - i mean whos git repo did you clone from, as you would have read if you read the link i gave you >:( that there are at least 2 versions of carousel. go to the module folder and check the readme file and it will be in there some where…

use the link above and read it! solution should be there!

the carousel works over SSH, right?

[banbutcher]

@raf

if its not working after that, im afraid i dont know, sorry

i dont know anything about ssh either :(

[raf]

@vondes
have been on it for days even now at the moment and still nothing

[raf]

in the end this is my solution (don’t add keybindings)

{
            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            position: 'bottom_bar', // Required only for navigation controls
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 0,
                ignoreModules: ['clock', 'alert', 'MMM-GoogleAssistant',],
                mode: 'slides',
                showPageIndicators: true,
                showPageControls: true,
                slides: {
                    "Default": ['calendar', 'currentweather', 'MMM-Tools', 'newsfeed', 'MMM-TuyaSL', 'MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify', 'weatherforecast',],
                    "Slide 2": ['newsfeed',],
                    "Slide 3": ['newsfeed',],
                    "Slide 4": ['newsfeed',],
                    "Slide 5": ['newsfeed',],
                },
                keyBindings: { 
                    enabled: true,
                    map: {
                        NextSlide: "ArrowRight", 
                        PrevSlide: "ArrowLeft", 
                        Slide0: "ArrowUp",
                        Slide5: "ArrowDown",
                    },
                    mode: "DEFAULT"
                }
            }
        },

glad to hear you figured it out, i know coming from a very limited knowledge base, trial and error was how i figured it out!

when you say dont add key bindings do you mean the module MMM-Keybindings or the keyBindings in the carousel config?

[raf]

@banbutcher
module installed (MMM-Keybindings) but not added in the config and it works (my knowledge is also very limited because I also have to figure everything out) I normally work in the concrete so that is something completely different huh
