    • MMM-TouchPlayerBasic - Simple Webradio and mp3 Playlist player.

      Description:

      This module caters to you who are running touch mirrors and want to be able to just choose a radio station or playlist and play it, no fuzz just buzz.
      Simple audio controls like volume up/down and mute/unmute.
      Pressing stop kills the radio and playlist that is playing and hides all buttons so only the start button is visible.

      I made this for my intended touch mirror but since plans have changed I can no longer use it, better somebody else that runs touch can!

      Thanks to @gismo2006 for making the MMM-Voiceradio that this module is based on.

    • Gesture control with APDS-9960

      Since my plan of using a touchfoil blew up in my face due to my own stupid assumptions. I have to look in to other means of controlling my mirror. (No, a IR-frame is sadly not an option due to the shape and size of my mirror.)

      Searching here there is one Gesture module (MMM-Swipe) that uses the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor,
      It’s a cheap sensor and most of the work is done, so I have ordered one of those too.
      The cons are however that is limited to three inputs, left, right and “push”.

      The APDS-9960 Sensor ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12787 ) However has also swipe up/down,
      and it’s a optical sensor, so with a smidge of luck, it might work behind the glass (not counting on it though).
      Bad thing is the range is only 10-20cm above (without anything in it’s way), so basically has to swipe on the mirror itself.

      And, the APDS isn’t MM2 ready, it isn’t really raspberry ready either so it would probably require some long nights tinkering for me. So if the first tests are a success I might need some help getting the sensor to work with the MM2.

    • RE: Touch screen over two way mirror

      @r0mantic0 Haven’t thought about that at all, so had to try it, and they are indeed correct, the metal coating in the mirror acts as a conductor and anywhere you touch on the mirror gets amplified over the entire area. And thus renders the touchfoil useless.

      Crap.

      Need a new solution for my own mirror now.

    • RE: Module programming preview, jsfiddle?

      Personally I have a smb share on my pi so I can get to the files directly, and then I just let the MM run on the pi and either test the modules on the pi itself or accessing it via the browser on my desktop.

      I use Atom at the moment, but it’s a little overkill for me, would do just fine with a regular text-editor but notepad doesn’t handle the files to well, it just fucks up the tabbing etc.

    • RE: Touch screen over two way mirror

      @r0mantic0 the pilkington mirroview will be a good choice, personally I would go with the touchfoil, then you have no limitations on how the frame is built, the ir frame need to protrude a bit from the glass.

    • RE: Touch screen over two way mirror

      @r0mantic0 you can get any mirror you like, neither the ir frame or touchfoil cares about what mirror you use.

      The only thing I can think of is that the touchfoil could be a bit cranky if you use an acrylic mirror and not glass, due to the fact that touchfoils are capacative.

    • RE: Touch screen over two way mirror

      IR-frame or touchfoil would work, IR frames are slightly cheaper and touchoils have the advantage that they are mounted on the inside instead of the outside

    • RE: RSS News Feeds (Viewing Content)

      @cowboysdude I’ve made a clickable newsfeed that gives you the description of the headline when touched, it’s not the entire article, but it’s a little more info on the headline.

    • RE: Page change when approaching the mirror

      @dc11r you could probably use the pir module with the profile module to accomplish this.
      Instead of blacking the screen it could just change profile when nobody is in front of it.

    • RE: Possible to enable mouse cursor on screen?

      As paviro said, the cursor is hidden as default, and to make stuff clickable you have to change the z-index of region-fullscreen to 0 (the fullscreen div is over everyrhing and blocks links and on click events.)

    • MMM-newsfeedtouch - News so hot you wanna touch it

      Description:

      This module caters to you who are running touch mirrors and wants some more information on the headlines without having the description of the headline to be visible the entire time.

      When you touch the Headline, a larger Description of the Headline appears. The Description is set on a timer (set by readInterval, standard read time is 15 seconds) OR you can actively touch the description to close it and load the next Headline.

      Works otherwise exactly as the default news feed module.

      Thanks to @strawberry-3-141 for the help to get me started with this!

    • RE: Adjust modules size to match each other (weather/calendar)

      @l8kerjuan It’s up to the the person who made the module, the xsmall, small etc are all classes that can be assigned to different divs in the module,

      checking the .js file for each module you can see what part of the module the classes are used on.
      As for the calendar, the normal class is used on the events.

    • RE: Calendar not showing added items

      @l8kerjuan default value is 5 minutes.

      But any changes made to the code will require a reload.

    • RE: Way to display/refresh an image URL?

      @fjnorb yes, but in the .js file you can alter the line

      var src = "http://www.yr.no/place/" + this.config.country +, "/" + this.config.area + "/" + this.config.city + "/meteogram.png?" + new Date().getTime();
      
      

      to

      var src = "http://images.intellicast.com/WxImages/Radar/bgm.gif";
      

      But that is altering the module and you still would have to change the width and height further down in the same .js file.

      the globe module is the easier route and you should be able to just change the css to render another image size.
