MMM-EARTH - config options

Mykle1

@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. :-)

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.

@evroom

Let me guess. You’re using a Pi. Those settings won’t work on a Pi. It simply cannot handle the animation. I don’t use Pi’s anymore, preferring laptop boards.

evroom

You are not allowed to guess anymore :-)
Yes, I use a PI, I think most people use a PI to start with and then things get out of control (MagicModuleVirus).
What starts with 4 MM modules, ends up with juggling a whole bunch of modules on a ‘tiny’ monitor (for me a 900x1600 resolution).

@evroom

Exactly. However, in my case, with a laptop board i can have just about as many modules as I like loaded, using pages of modules to display via voice command. Those not displayed at the moment are suspended and I never run out of room. I just set up new pages.

@mykle1

I am needing some assistance with setting up pages… cant seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong, keeps showing all the modules on the main page and it doesn’t change when I change the pages… maybe you could point me in the right direction???

Are you referring to Hello-Lucy pages? If so, then this comes directly from the Hello_Lucy README.

How to add Pages of modules

At about line 443 in the new node helper of MMM-voice you’ll see this:

/////////  Pages commands @ Mykle ///////////////////////////		
		else if (/(SHOW)/g.test(data) && /(PAGE)/g.test(data) && /(ONE)/g.test(data)) {
            this.sendSocketNotification('SHOW_PAGE_ONE');
        } else if (/(HIDE)/g.test(data) && /(PAGE)/g.test(data) && /(ONE)/g.test(data)) {
            this.sendSocketNotification('HIDE_PAGE_ONE');
        }

You have to add one of these for every page your create. Change the page numbers!

At about line 116 in the new MMM-voice.js file you’ll need to add your sentence. In this case:

'HIDE PAGE ONE',
'SHOW PAGE ONE',

Still in the new MMM-voice.js file at about line 370 you’ll need to add your set of modules for the page you just created. In this case, it looks like this:

		 else if (notification === 'SHOW_PAGE_ONE') {
			 this.sendNotification('HIDE_LUCY');
			 this.sendNotification('SHOW_LOTTERY');
			 this.sendNotification('SHOW_CLOCK');
			 this.sendNotification('SHOW_EARTH');
			 this.sendNotification('SHOW_LICE');
			 this.sendNotification('SHOW_COWBOY');
			 this.sendNotification('SHOW_TIDES');
			 this.sendNotification('SHOW_VOICE');
			 
		 } else if (notification === 'HIDE_PAGE_ONE') {
			 this.sendNotification('HIDE_LOTTERY');
			 this.sendNotification('HIDE_CLOCK');
			 this.sendNotification('HIDE_EARTH');
			 this.sendNotification('HIDE_LICE');
			 this.sendNotification('HIDE_COWBOY');
			 this.sendNotification('HIDE_TIDES');
			 this.sendNotification('HIDE_VOICE');
			 
		 }

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: )
