@sdetweil so I would put this bit as a stand alone module just with no position.

{
    module: 'MMM-KeyBindings',
    config: {
        evdev: { enabled: false },
        enableKeyboard: true,
    }
},

@brentmatthews Hi Sam,

I seem to be missing something with KeyBindings as the arrow keys are not making the pages change. Would you mind advising if you have the time.

		{
			module: "MMM-Carousel",
			disabled: false,
      			position: "bottom_bar", // Required only for navigation controls
      			config: {
        			transitionInterval: 0, //20000,
                		showPageIndicators: true,
                		showPageControls: true,
        			ignoreModules: ['alert', 'updatenotification', 'MMM-KeyBindings'],
				mode: "slides",
        			slides: {
          				main: ['clock', 'MMM-OpenWeatherForecast', 'MMM-WOTD', 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow'],
          				"Slide 1": ['clock', 'MMM-OpenWeatherForecast', 'MMM-MyCalendar', 'MMM-TomTomCalculateRouteTraffic', 'MMM-MyWastePickup', 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow'],
				},
				keyBindings: {
					enabled: true,
					map: {
						NextSlide: "ArrowRight",
						PrevSlide: "ArrowLeft",
					},
					mode: "DEFAULT"
		        		}
				},
		},

@sdetweil Thanks Sam, I did have a look at both MMM-Pages and MMM-Carousel.

I basically only have two pages I want to display on my MM.
The main page is just the background image rotating, with the clock and weather module.
The second page is those two modules in exactly the same place, but all my other calendar based modules, bin collection and commute modules in position underneath as per the photos I will post shortly.

I want the screen to remain off when we aren’t in the room and only come on to the main page when someone triggers it either by a mouse click (I have a bluetooth mini mouse and keyboard at the ready), or by pir when it detects motion… and turn off after … mins of inactivity.

The second pagr with the calendars etc will only ever come on when a button is clicked on the mouse or keyboard. Otherwise these will not be shown any other time… as the MM will be used as a wall clock/weather app.

I was just wondering if I need to be concerned about screen burn in, which module or way to switch between the two pages etc. I am quite the novice and the whole send notifications thing I don’t quite understand.

Hi,

I was just wanting to get everyone’s top 5 unseen modules, ones that run in the background to help your MM run smoothly.

Whether it’s carousel, keybindings, a screen burn in saver or background module.

What are your recommendations to run behind the scenes…?

Cheers,
Brent

@sdetweil I just found the scaling code for css and did it that way with a few position adjustments. Going to play with the fonts a little to maybe make it a touch cleaner looking and not all bold. Photo included.

Still playing around with the weather module at the top to get it exactly how I want it also. This css is fun.

@sdetweil Thank you. I had seen that in passing when first on this forum, but certainly have a bit more understanding on that post now so I shall utilise it as best I can.

@mumblebaj thank you. I have very little experience in actually creating a css, let alone doing a pull request.

I’ll have to do some research and see if I can work it out.

@mumblebaj, is there a way to resize your WOTD module?

I would like to put it in the bottom bar centre across the entire screen and large enough to be seen from a distance.

I notice there isn’t a css file, would this be the only way to do it?
