    • Locating and Copying Python scripts

      Is there a way to find and copy some Python scripts off of an SD Card set to run Pi OS
      I had a Pi 4 that I had install MM on that I subsequently did some sensor scripts on but decided to get the sensor scripts up and running first, so did a Pi OS install on a different SD SD Card thinking I could just copy the *.py files using my Win 11 laptop but my thinking was wrong.
      When I put the SD card in laptop it sees all the various Pi OS files but not a *.py file to be seen. Files are there but while Windows can see all the OS files it can’t see the Python files.
      I can get the files but really wondering if there are ways that might not be obvious to a casual MM builder like myself.

      SD Card A with Pi OS and MM installed plus about 6 - 8 Python scripts
      SD Card B with Pi OS, NO MM and no Python scripts.
      Use Windows 11 Laptop as middleman to move sensor scripts from SD Card A to SD Card B

    • RE: rotating the screen doesn't work

      @AnduriI is your @xrandr a copy/paste that @ symbol should not be there I don’t think

      You might want to read this which comes from the official Raspberry Pi site.
      Screenshot is of the Rotating your Screen function from my MM

    • RE: MMM-ImmichSlideShow

      @venomousviper27 This is part observation and part question.
      I first stumbled on MagicMirror by way of DakBoard but in regards to showing photographs is it best to dump copies of ALL your photos in one folder or some other mechanism to get random images.

      I picked a bunch of photos, put them in their own folder but after a while the pictures got stale. I just let it run 24/7 and and it took a while but I realized I was tired of looking at the same pictures and want to avoid this in a MM rendition of a digital photo album.

      Only thing I can think of to minimize that is to have every photo in one folder and module does the random picking.

    • RE: MMM-GroveGestures / Python script is terminated

      @ankonaskiff17 50 ft ethernet

      And the money shot. 50 ft cable

      @ankonaskiff17 Here is screenshot of BME688 0x77BME6880x77.jpg
      It is connected to one of my Endpoints.

    • RE: MMM-GroveGestures / Python script is terminated

      @Egnos You want what is called a Midpoint which is Midpoint.jpg
      Also need an Endpoint which is this Endpoint.jpg

      I whipped this together in double quick time so pardon the lack of tidiness.
      For reference sake I focused on a couple of BME688’s to give you sort of a benchmark.
      First is screenshot showing both BME’s running. Had to do jumper on one to get a second address 0x76 and 0x77

      @Egnos Maybe Sparkfun Midpoint and Endpoint to give you ample length. They tout over 100’ with those devices.

    • RE: Possible to display temperature from another area?

      @Cliff365 Pretty straight-forward. I have Pi 4 connected to an Endpoint to connect 3.3V, Grd, SDA, SCL.
      From Enpoint I have a short ethernet cable to the Midpoint then another short ethernet cable to my 2nd Endpoint.

      The description and functionality on Sparkfun’s site made it sound more complicated than it was in real life,

      The Endpoints and Midpoints each have QWIIC female plugs and with I2C you can daisy chain multiple sensors together. You just have to be mindful of the device addresses.
      I’m using duplicate sensors for temperature, barometric pressure, humidity for Indoor vs Outdoor readings. 1 sensor captures all 3 readings but it also has a solderable jumper pad to resolve the address issue.

      The purpose of the Sparkfun devices is to give you the ability to transmit I2C data over some pretty good distances. Like 100+ ft.

      They explain how they get that amount of distance but way over my electronics hardware pay grade.
