@banbutcher so, there were two problems
0 cycle time
and carouselId
I had my brain screwed on crooked for carouselId.
suppose you had multiple instances of the same module name in config.js, showing different things on different slides.
when u define the slides, u use the module ‘name’, but in this case, name is not enough.
so, in the module definitions themselves u add another unique identifier, carouselId: somestring. the value can be anything.
in their config:{} section, that is where carousel module will look for ‘carouselId’
in the slide definition, when u come to that module to be displayed, instead of putting the name in quotes, you need a little structure
{ name: "module name", carouselId:"samevalue_added_to_module_config" } ,
that way the carousel module can tell which module instance should be shown
