I’m making a magicmirror for a good friend that is a chemist. I have done extensive digging but cannot seem to find any modules that are related to chemistry. My ideal module would be something that would go through the periodic table of elements and randomly choose an element to give facts, history, and/or a story on its discovery. Something similar to the “today in history” but not time associated.

@KristjanESPERANTO Awesome, I’m going to give this a try. Thank you!!

@Divis I actually started something like this a long time ago, but never finished it. Because of your request, I dug it out again and made it work:

Does that help? 🙂

Looks like you did an update. Beautiful work!!! Love it.

Did you ever get this one figured out? I am having one hell of an issue trying to get the monitors to turn off. Pin 24 shuts the system down fine. I can change the payload to brightness instead and it works perfectly. But it seems that there’s a disconnect between the MMM-Buttons and the MMM-Remote-Control customCommand section through either running the command alone or in a script. When I run the script or command in terminal through SSH they work fine, but when envoked from MMM it’s ignored or goes no where.

Love this. However, is it possible to make the text less bright when it goes behind other modules? I find the text on text makes it hard to catch the data at a glance. I know I can background the other modules but I’d prefer to not have big blocks.

I tried messing with the color: in the config but cant seem to make any difference.

Sadly, I’ve yet to make a module or really play with things beyond setting up pre-made ones.

I’m making a magicmirror for a good friend that is a chemist. I have done extensive digging but cannot seem to find any modules that are related to chemistry. My ideal module would be something that would go through the periodic table of elements and randomly choose an element to give facts, history, and/or a story on its discovery.
