Hi @Mykle1 Would it be possible to elaborate a bit more on some options ? updateInterval: is this the interval after which the latest picture from DSCOVR is being fetched ? rotateInterval: it says “The time between each new image.”, but that does not match with updateInterval. I get 48 new pictures a day, but rotate every 15 seconds. In the pix directory there is currently 1 gif. Does it rotate through the pictures in this directory ? Natural, Enhanced, Lunar, naturalThumb, enhancedThumb. Is there a short explanation on those mode values ? Many thanks in advance and thanks for this great module.

@evroom said in MMM-EARTH - config options : Perhaps the clue is, that the api delivers multiple pictures that are then being rotated, and that I am not aware of that. Bingo! Usually, there are 12 images retrieved but those 12 don’t change very often. The rotateInterval is a personal preference, displaying each of the 12 in sequence. You should see the earth rotating upon each rotateInterval time span. I have mine set to 1000ms with no animation and get a beautiful, flawless spinning earth that way. I am glad you like the module. It’s still one of my personal favorites. :-)

@Mykle1 Thanks for eyplaining, it is clear now. I only do not get it to work a flawless spinning with rotateInterval: 1000 and animationSpeed: 0. Rather jerky, but that maybe due to other factors. config: { mode: "Enhanced", // Natural, Enhanced, Lunar, naturalThumb, enhancedThumb. useHeader: false, header: "NASA DSCOVR Satellite", updateInterval: 30*60*1000, rotateInterval: 1000*1, animationSpeed: 0, MaxWidth: "60%", MaxHeight: "60%", } But I am okay with rotateInterval: 10000 and animationSpeed: 2000 and will play some more with the settings.

@mykle1

Actually, no, not for Lucy, That is well explained! :winking_face:

I’m referring to the MMM-page-selector

But I switched to MMM-pages which is way better explained and much easier to use!

(Thanks @edward-shen for making it so easy and well explained!!! :winking_face: )
