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.

• Controls master volume of your Pi

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.

@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.

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.

@FlorianRD

Did you run npm install in the MMM-Buttons folder?

@shashank your prayers has been heard

@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.

@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.

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

@AAPS use the hello world module and just make it draw an regular tag
