    Hello all,

    I am working with the MMM-Buttons module to connect a push button to GPIO pin 25 (physical pin: 22) and have it start the stopwatch by notification. I tested my button using my terminal and found that it was connected fine, but when I set the configurations it does not do anything :(. Any help is much appreciated!

    Below is all I have modified.

    By the way, after major googling I found that the module uploaded by SmartMirror was buggy so I replaced it with this repository: https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Buttons.

    config.js file:

    },
    		{
    			module: "MMM-StopwatchTimer",
    			config: {
    				animation: true,
    				sound: true,
    				soundFile: 'buzz.wav',
    				useNativeSound: true,
    				useAlertStyle: true,
    				//notification: ["START_STOPWATCH", "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER"]			
    			}
    				
    		},
    		{
    		    	module: 'MMM-Buttons',
    			position: "middle_center",
    		    	config: {
    				buttons: [
    			    	{
    					pin: 25,
    					name: "test_button",
    					longPress: {
    					notification: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER",
    				    	payload: {action: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER"}
    				},
    					shortPress: {
    				    	notification: "START_STOPWATCH",
    				    	payload: {action: "START_STOPWATCH"}
    					}
    			    	}
    			    	
    				]
    		    	}
    		}
    

    buttons.js file:

    Module.register("MMM-Buttons", {
    
        requiresVersion: "2.1.0",
    
        // Default module config.
        defaults: {
            buttons: [
    			    	{
    					pin: 25,
    					name: "test_button",
    					longPress: {
    					notification: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER",
    				    	payload: {action: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER"}
    				},
    					shortPress: {
    				    	notification: "START_STOPWATCH",
    				    	payload: {action: "START_STOPWATCH"}
    					}
    			    	}
    			    	
    				],
            minShortPressTime: 0,
            maxShortPressTime: 500,
            minLongPressTime: 3000,
            bounceTimeout: 300
        },```

      @changaud 1st, never edit a modules source file. all config goes in config.js

      did you use the right pin number

        @sdetweil Thank you for your response! I will keep that in mind, but do I just leave the button configuration in the buttons module blank then? Also, I have it connected to the physical button 22 which translates to GPIO 25 so I wrote 25 down in the configuration file.

          you already put it in the config.js file

          {
          		    	module: 'MMM-Buttons',
          			position: "middle_center",
          		    	config: {
          				buttons: [
          			    	{
          					pin: 25,
          					name: "test_button",
          					longPress: {
          					notification: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER",
          				    	payload: {action: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER"}
          				},
          					shortPress: {
          				    	notification: "START_STOPWATCH",
          				    	payload: {action: "START_STOPWATCH"}
          					}
          			    	}
          			    	
          				]
          		    	}
          		}
          

          config overrides whatever is defined in the source file defaults section

            it was just a question… many starting users don’t know about the different numbering

            so, when u push the button, outside magic mirror it works…

              @sdetweil Yes so weird and frustrating T^T… Here is a picture of my setup. In addition, sometimes I get the error (this image is also in the google drive) and sometimes I don’t. I think it goes away after I delete and reclone the buttons repository. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y_QLDCuhfv9XELST0u2hwxTB4f3Fp4h9?usp=drive_link

                    @changaud if you run your test script before launching mm does it work?

                      @sdetweil No it does not :( Do the errors possibly have something to do with it? I noticed the errors start to happen after the button is initialized. Also, do I have to have version 2.1.0 or is my current version (most updated) fine?
