@soylant a lot of people who use the official raspberry pi touchscreen talk about this. Because the display is upside when you put it in many cases. You need to go into /boot/config.txt and add a line lcd_rotate=2 as an example for 180 degrees. not display rotate display will rotate the image but not touch input.

I have not been able to get a touchscreen to work in a portrait mode because I’ve read that there’s not enough memory or something to support it.

Hello, has anyone seen a module that allows you to display a local file based on a specific time of day? I’m thinking sort of something like a “now playing” that will show a logo/image. At 8am it’s this image at 8:30am it’s a different image. My idea is taking and building a mix of MMM-simplelogo and MMM-ScriptScheduler. The MMM-Scriptscheduler is pretty close to what I need but instead of an icon from fontastic that it is pulling I want it to display a photo from a local folder, so basically merging those two different modules together. I am completely new to programming and I will try my best to figure out how to blend those two together but I would love anyone’s opinions and advice, or if you have seen something else that would work for me.

does anyone know or have seen any new modules for nest cameras? I tried to install the MMM-Nest-Cameras module but since Nest no longer has their own API’s and you have to go do things through Google I was wondering if anyone has been able to modify their current module to work with the new API, or if they have seen any new modules for nest cameras with the new api?

So… I don’t know for sure but even though in my testing I was telling it to update every 1 minute, just to see if it works, I think maybe part of the problem is how frequently apple updates the information as well. I have gotten the calendar to update but it’s at 5 minute intervals. Which in the long run will be fine as I don’t need it to update that often anyways. I appreciate the help everyone.

@sdetweil said in Calendar not updating:

@FreelanceMKE true and false should not be in quotes, also fetchInterval and maximumNumberOfDays.

Only text strings need quotes

Thank you for the info I’ll give that a try! The max number of days does work if it’s in quotes so since I’m just learning. Is there a reason why it would work in quotes even though it shouldn’t be in quotes?

New to coding so I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, but can someone please help me. I have the calendar module up and running with an iCloud calendar, but I cannot get it to update with the fetchInterval configuration. I also cannot get it to hide events that have already started with the hideOngoing and I also can’t get it to show the end times of events with the showEnd. Any advice would be appreciated. here is my code; it’s basically the default stuff with just the config options I wanted put into it. In this example I have the fetchInterval set to to 30 seconds just to test. When I add a new event to the calendar or delete one it doesn’t ever update. I have left it run for hours and it still does not update. Even the events that say something like “ends in xxx minutes” never changes. The only time I can ever get the calendar to update is if I quit MagicMirror and reload it.

{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "Upcoming Events",
			position: "top_left",

				calendars: [
