      thanks… not a nodejs developer generally, so didn’t know about the npmjs site…

      also, i run the MM on an ODROID not PI. a lot faster.

      i understand how ws works… i built a custom ws server and interface in front of an api emulation platform to support software testing a couple years ago.

        i have done some work over the weekend to get my two modules and their helpers working to do the basics…

        database access is working, rest api server is working. (scheduler helper)
        browser window creation and destruction is working, and image loading (handler helper)

        one thing of note, a json object transports from module to helper and back. BUT any data added to the object in the helper (like a browserwindow object), does NOT transport (becomes undefined on receipt.)

          @sdetweil The module helper communication relies on a websocket connection. Any references will be lost. Try to clone the Object.
