MMM-Globe

d3r

I have been thinking about a work around for to run this on a pi3 because I really want this module on my set up.
Would it be possible to render a full rotation(or 5/6 of them) on the pi and output it to a video/gif, then have it play on a loop on the MM?

does it work for somebody on a raspi 3?

Its better when i switch to Full GL driver on Raspi 3.
But the monitor turns on original position? does somebody understand that behaviour?

@fox - Yeah. The full OpenGL driver doesn’t respect the display-rotate 1 command in the /boot/config.txt file. The fix for this can be found in the Magic Mirror Wiki.

The upshot is edit this file: ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
and add this line: @xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right

@fox got it running on the rpi3, but it is flickering and sometimes blackscreen. Rpi3 is to weak.

Hello,

is there a new module available for the Raspi3+

Thank you

Hello,
Still no light version for rpi3?
Otherwise any suggestions about which sbc board (which gpios) would be enough powerful to run this? and of course MM… :upside-down_face:

The author’s profile states " LAST ONLINE ABOUT A YEAR AGO". You would need hefty graphics. Personally, I wouldn’t try this with less than a laptop board. Good luck and please share your results if you attempt this.

Hey @bibi - I’ve not had any time to take a look at this yet… software engineering and life take over. But maybe it is time to take another look at this. I’m out of the country this weekend, but I’ll try to carve out some time in the next month to take another look at it
