Is this module still active or nahh?
I cant seem to get it to display on my mirror, despite cloning it to my modules folder and copy/pasting it in my config file…
Any help you can offer me would be greatly appreciated 🙂

@Seann Is your module, iClock still working?
I cloned it and placed it in my config file but nothing shows on my mirror… What can i be doing wrong? I really want your iClock because it looks so cool.

@sdetweil @qu1que oh, thanks both of you… I didn’t realize it was as easy as that =]
Now, to tackle MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall (damn, this is proving to be more difficult than i imagined lol)

For context, I am using MMM-Carousel in “slides” mode.
I have one slide dedicated to the NFL, so I use the default newsfeed module to stream an rss feed of ESPN to that slide
BUT
I have another slide where it is dedicated to traffic maps/reports/travel times.

I was wondering if it were possible to use one module, twice?
Like, I want to use the newsfeed module, again, to broadcast traffic reports from my local news station (and not have NFL stats popping up lol.)
Is there anyway to ID two instances of the same module as something like,

{
module: "newsfeed1"
},
{
module: "newsfeed2"
}, 
etc

?? I know there is a MMM-RSS-FEED but that doesn’t run as smoothly as the default newsfeed module and I would really like to use the newsfeed to broadcast both the ESPN stuff and the traffic reports…
Is what Im thinking possible? annd if so, how can I get it done?

@sdetweil
ok, so it turns out that those four are supposed to be outside of the directionsRequest: {} parameters.
While I had my config as

{
module: "MMM-google-route",
position: "top_left",
config: {
	key: "api-key", 
	**directionsRequest:{**
		origin: {"lat": 40.0583287, "lng": -75.0074246},
		destination: "3401 Civic Center Blvd, Philadelphia, US",
		*height*: "400px",//default=300px
		*width*: "400px",//default=300px
		avoidTolls: true,
		*showAge*: false,
		*fontSize*: "80%",
			**}**
		}
	},

I had to move those four out, which made my config:

{
module: "MMM-google-route",
position: "top_right",
config: {
	*height*: "300px",
	*width*: "300px",
        *showAge*: false,
        *fontSize*: "80%",
	key: "api-key", 
	**directionsRequest:{**
		origin: {"lat": 40.0583287, "lng": -75.0074246}, 
		destination: {"lat": 39.9487306, "lng": -75.1965791}, 
		avoidTolls: true,
			},
		}
	},

the height, width, etc were all in the wrong place-- to me…

@FruityBebbles @sdetweil
Just thought you should know that it works now…
For some reason

height: "any sized px",
width: "any sized px",
showAge: true/false,
fontSize:  80%

…were all the issues-- not sure why but I figured I’d let anybody who may be reading this know that you should make sure to get your coordinates or whatever “right,” then deal with the fancy stuff, like fontSize and stuff… fwiw

@sdetweil said in MMM-google-route Example ?:

@FruityBebbles please use code blocks
I thought I did… my bad

anyhow, try this lat/lng for your destination

39.9487306,-75.1965791

I did, but no change…

i don’t know anything about this module

hahah could have fooled me =)
but no, you’ve gotten me closer to having this work than I have on my own so I thank you a lot.

yes… I should have said that my origin is the lat/lng

origin: {"lat": , "lng": }

and my destination is the

address, city, country

but to make things more translucent, here’s my config:

{
module: "MMM-google-route",
position: "top_left",
config: {
	key: "api-key", 
	directionsRequest:{
		origin: {"lat": 40.0583287, "lng": -75.0074246},
		destination: "3401 Civic Center Blvd, Philadelphia, US",
			height: "400px",//default=300px
			width: "400px",//default=300px
			avoidTolls: true,
			showAge: false,
			fontSize: "80%",
			}
		}
	},

@sdetweil Thankyou for laying it out for me! I was trying to put

 destination: [lat: number,  lng: number]

instead of

destination: {"lat": number,  "lng": number},

• I didn’t know to add the “” or the {}

now, my config looks like:

module: "MMM-google-route",
	position: "top_left",
	config: {
		key: "google api-key",
		directionsRequest:{
		origin: "address, city, country",
		destination: {"lat": number, "lng": number},
		height: "400px",//default=300px
		width: "400px",//default=300px
		avoidTolls: true,
		showAge: false,
		fontSize: "80%",
			}
           }
},

I am getting a 400px by 400px box showing up in the “top_left” of my mirror, but now it’s all white with no map being shown…

@Valkilane Hi, I know this is a bit old but what if you wanted to be more specific because the origin and the destination are both located in the same city…
Im trying to use my address as the origin and a well known hospital in the city as the destination…

my config is

module: "MMM-google-route",
	position: "top_left",
	config: {
		key: "google api-key",
		directionsRequest:{
		origin: "address, city, country",
		destination: "lat", "lng", // can't figure out...
		height: "400px",//default=300px
		width: "400px",//default=300px
		avoidTolls: true,
		showAge: false,
		fontSize: "80%",
			}
		}
	},

Do you know what order I have to put the coordinations in, so i can get this to work?
