Display modules in a carousel
-
https://github.com/barnabycolby/MMM-Carousel
Instead of displaying all of the modules at once, each one is displayed for a configurable amount of time before displaying the next in the list. This is useful on smaller screens, where there is not enough space to display more than a single module.

Nice module. Two requests:
a) Please post a “typical” config.js file (not just the minimal instructions - might make it easier for noobs)b) [BIGGER] Can you “flip” the config to “positive inclusion” instead of “negative exclusion” (ie alert) ? Right now all my modules display one at a time - useful on TINY screens, but what I want is this:
Mod A = Top Right
Mod B= Top Right
Mod C = Bottom Left
Mod D = Bottom Left
Mod E = Bottom Rightconfig:
swap={‘Mod A’, Mod B’}, {‘Mod C’, ‘Mod D’}
swaptime = 10000So that I see (alternating):
Mods A, C, E
Mods B, D, E(This was kind of hacked a while ago - please have a look at
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/373/alternating-modules-to-save-on-real-estate)I think it would be a GREAT module, but have lacked the time to do it.
Thanks for at least reading. Nice work,

Thanks for the feedback!
I’ve created the sample config.js file and opened a GitHub issue for the feature request, which I will get round to at some point.

A cool feature to add to this would be for touch screens… instead of scrolling it could be done by touch… like a tablet
-
But then… that’s not needed…
-
I completely agree, I’ve opened a GitHub issue, but as you can see from the previous conversation, it will take me a while to get around to it. Pull requests welcome

Hi, how to install on Mac Book Air (have the mirror installed) just not clued up on the module installs via terminal… many thanks…
-
Instructions can be found here: https://github.com/barnabycolby/MMM-Carousel
The instructions should work on a Mac. In short, you want to clone the github repository into the modules directory and modify the magic mirror configuration to use the module.
-
Thanks, tell me can you not just download all the modules and put them in the directory manually rather than using terminal? Thanks!
