@Mykle1 : i won’t try it with rpi3:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: that’s why i was asking which other board with gpio connectivity would be more suitable…
@Eunanibus : i totally understand, no prob… i think many of us are waiting for a light version :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: if you feel like digging into it ;-) if i can help you (mostly testing) because my dev skills are quite low, pls let me know. -
@bibi - Yes, I remember that’s where I wanted to hit next, as I wanted this module to be accessible to all MM users, regardless of what device they use.
My plan was to use lighter rendering calculations, as the originals were fairly intensive and originally developed for browsers. My front end dev experience has exploded a lot since I wrote the module, so I’ll hopefully have far better luck this time around. To those waiting, I’ll be taking a look when I can. I’d also like to dig out my Pi so that I can be certain it runs prior to release.
@Mykle1 I’ve had some users report that light linux machines powering their MM’s are sufficient, though I’ve not tested for upper capacity or performance. I know rendering for canvas on JS is intensive, and the calculations required here are more than I’d want. I’ll look into developing a Pi-compatible light version as soon as I can.
I’ll post an update here when I’m able.

When I get a chance I’ll install your Globe. I have several old laptops with minimum resources running ubuntu and MM. If I discover anything interesting I’ll report back.

I have tried it…It worked really well… but not on the pi…it’s impressive!

hi, does it work on Mac mini 2011 ?

Hey all!
The time has come.
I’ve really appreciated all the feedback I’ve gotten from all of you. I’ve been so happy watching you all use this.
That being said, development on the lite version starts next week. I want everyone to be able to use this regardless of hardware.
I’d also like to take in suggestions for feature requests. Anything you want? Anything you wish was better? Now is the time to start letting me now.
Thanks guys.

@Eunanibus Awesome, can’t wait. I actually tried this the first time i setup my mirror and it worked for me on my Pi 3B+. Although some of the locations were wrong at the time but I assume that was my error. Nice work with this project and again, can’t wait for the light version.

@Eunanibus - Well, since you’re asking… these are the things I remember from the original code that I would love to see implemented.
- Specify locations to be linked by an arc.
- Specify colors used for the pins
- Specify colors used for the arcs
- An updateInterval to control when to refresh the globe w/ the build animation
- A true/false switch to display the default pins.
- Alternately, an array for unlabeled pins that will replace the defaults if you provide it.
Thanks!

Any updates on this lite version?
Also is there a way to display all pin names when they are close and have them overlap? -
Hey Eunanibus, Jolly good show old boy :blond-haired_man: :clapping_hands: :clapping_hands: :clapping_hands:
I have implemented straight away :-
it runs without any problems until now ! -
@TechJak7000 hi, do you use a raspberry pi?
-
Hello, I do use Raspberry pi4 with High performance 128 GB SD card !
-
Impressive!!!
I just started a smart mirror project with Pi3 (1G) and just found out about this awesome plugin.
Great job!
So, I guess I’ll have to wait for that lightweight version :)

Hello,
I have installed module on my P4, but somehow it does not really work. It is only displayed as in the picture below and not as in the pictures on the GitHub page. Does anyone know what the problem is?

@idea215 Did you go to the github link from the first post or just Googled for MMM-Globe? Yours looks like mine which is from a different MMM-Globe
-
What a beautiful modul! Any chance to change the font size to be able to fit more destinations next to each others? I did try to find it in the .css but had no luck yet.

Hi,
I have a question about the module:I would like to make the background transparent, is that possible? At the moment it is black.
That would help me, because I have a slideshow running in the background and the black background behind the globe doesn’t look so nice …
Would be very grateful if someone could help.
