      Hi all

      What’s the expected behaviour when using positional mode?

      I have two modules with the same position, but Carousel isn’t rotating them. The two modules both appear on screen (stacked or located as you’d expect with two modules sharing the same position).

      Should I expect them to appear like that at first, then end up rotating when the first rotation time period has taken place? Or should they rotate right from the start when MM is restarted?

      Obviously they should EVENTUALLY rotate but it would help to know what the expected behaviour is.

      config.js follows; any tips very welcome!

      cheers

      modules: [
      	
      	{
              module: 'MMM-Carousel',

          You have to specific the postion where you what to rotate

          modules: [
              {
                  module: 'MMM-Carousel',
                  config: {
                      transitionInterval: 10000,
                      ignoreModules: [],
                      mode: 'positional',
                      bottom_left: {enabled: true, ignoreModules: [], overrideTransitionInterval: 15000},
                  }
              }
          ]

            @Sonic @alang @Sun I have the same problem. I am just testing this so I am using the following but no matter what I do the modules stack. I have tried this as well as other modules (eg currentweather) and everything does the same. Is Carousel no longer working?

             {
                                    module: "weatherforecast",
                                    position: "bottom_left",
                                    header: "Weather Forecast",
                                    config: {
                                            location: "Brisbane",
                                            locationID: "2174003",  
                                            appid: "secret!"
                                    }
                            },
                            {
                                    module: "MMM-Bob-Ross",
                                    position: "bottom_left",
                                    config: {
                                            imgHeight: "30vh", 
                                            videoHeight: "30vh", 
                                            updateInterval: 1*60*60*1000, 
                                            autoPlay: false 
                                    }
                            },
                            {
                                    module: 'MMM-Carousel',
                                    config: {
                                            transitionInterval: 10000,
                                            mode: 'positional',
                                            bottom_left: {enabled: true}
                                    }
                            }
