MMM-EARTH

[Mykle1]

@cowboysdude said in MMM-EARTH (Captured unique perspective of Solar Eclipse August 21, 2017):

That is really cool!

Thank you!

Again, I would like to thank you @cowboysdude and @strawberry-3-141 for your assistance when I was stuck developing this module.

Update Version 1.0.1

NASA changed their data without consulting me first. :^)

Thanks to JohnB7777 for creating the issue and bringing it to my attention.

And a tremendous Thank You to @cowboysdude for the fix and the pull request.

So, a git pull in your MMM-EARTH directory will correct the problem.

In light of the recent hurricane activity plaguing the Caribbean and the Eastern United States, I did a quick check of conditions using MMM-EARTH. You can see the storm paths and their development.

Update Version 1.0.2

NASA changed their data AGAIN without consulting me AGAIN.

The nerve!

So, once again, a git pull in your MMM-EARTH directory should set things to right, AGAIN. :^)

Another old Noob trying to learn …
I just started RPI and MM last week, changed some basic things in my config file.
But EARTH will not turn (it is static).
Can somebody have a look?

@Peter

Hello Peter. It is not your config that is causing the EARTH not to spin. I just loaded your config and it rotates the EARTH every 15 seconds as per rotateInterval: 15000,. Have you waited 15 seconds?
Are you expecting it to rotate more quickly? Or is it not updating at all?

One thing I did notice about your config:

{
			module: "",
			position: "lower_third"
		},

An empty module name

Also, you should remove your API keys before you post on the forum. You can remove yours from here by clicking the three dots at the bottom right of your post and choose EDIT.

Lastly, I see you are using 20% MaxWidth and MaxHeight in MMM-EARTH, and that’s just fine, but you can also choose mode: "naturalThumb", at 100% to achieve the same thing with less system load on your Pi. But let’s get you fixed up first. :-)

[Peter]

@Mykle1 thanks!
It does not look like rotating.
It goes black (fades to black) and comes back again.
I will look at the other things you mention.
Peter

[Mykle1]

@Peter

Pay close attention. When it fades and comes back, is the picture different? It should be. Watch a few times to see please. If you do not want the fade in/ fade out then you can add this to your config entry for EARTH
animationSpeed: 0,

[Peter]

@Mykle1 I removed the empty module name and the ID.
Earth is turning, but I will take your advice to turn off the fading!
I am learning every minute!
Great!
Peter

[Mykle1]

@Peter

Yes, keep your API keys private. Use the config options to your liking. If you like the fade, keep it. It’s up to you.

We’re all learning, Peter. At least, I hope so. I’m glad it’s working for you now. Peace! :-)
