      Hello friends. Brand new MM user. Just set up a new RPi5 with a touch screen to try to run MM. I’ve got the AV output from the RPi coming through HDMI, and the power to the screen and touch coming from the screen is being sent over a single USB cable. The touch controls are working great when navigating the RPi OS, and even the menu bar at the top of MM, but whenever I’m trying to navigate the main MM window, I can’t get any modules to register touch input. I’ve mainly been playing with these two modules:

      MMM-SmartTouch
      MMM-TouchButton

      Any advice on how to troubleshoot? I’m so new I’m even having a hard time finding logs to determine if the touch controls aren’t registering, or if they are but I have the modules configured wrong. TIA for any help you can provide!

        Thanks for the tip on how to find logs. Turns out I had another module installed that was transparent but covering the entire screen in a layer above the buttons, so that was intercepting my clicks.

          @grall_ritnos there are two logs

          Console for node_helper, from npm start.
          If using pm2, then pm2 logs —lines=nnnn
          Nnn is number of lines, 15 is the default

          In browser for the web side
