Hello @sdetweil
I have a similar question: I want the compliments module to have the same appearance as the title of the newsfeed module.

found in newsfeed-code:

			if (!this.config.showFullArticle) {
				const title = document.createElement("div");
				title.className = "newsfeed-title bright medium light" + (!this.config.wrapTitle ? " no-wrap" : "");
				title.innerHTML = this.newsItems[this.activeItem].title;
				wrapper.appendChild(title);
			}

so i want the compliments style to be “bright medium light”

the compliments code shows

	getDom: function () {
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		wrapper.className = this.config.classes ? this.config.classes : "thin xlarge bright pre-line";

Im not sure how to modify the custom.css.
Something like:

.compliments .class {
bright medium light;
}

Can you help me? :)

Hello,
Im trying to get a custom menu ready to send customized notifications via input fields.
Sadly im not into JS.
Can someone tell me how to get the value of an input field i added?

my custom_menu.json:

{
   "id": "custom",
   "type": "menu",
   "icon": "id-card-o",
   "text": "%%TRANSLATE:CUSTOM_MENU%%",
   "items": [{
         "id": "custom-item-1",
         "type": "item",
         "icon": "dot-circle-o",
         "text": "Next page",
         "action": "NOTIFICATION",
         "content": {
            "notification": "INCREMENT_PAGE",
            "payload": null
         }
      },
      {
         "id": "custom-item-2",
         "type": "item",
         "icon": "dot-circle-o",
         "text": "Last page",
         "action": "NOTIFICATION",
         "content": {
            "notification": "DECREMENT_PAGE",
            "payload": null
         }
      },
      {
         "id": "level2",
         "type": "menu",
         "menu": "custom",
         "icon": "bars",
         "text": "Send notifications",
         "items": [
         {
             "id": "custom-item-3",
             "type": "input",
             "icon": "dot-circle-o",
             "text": "Notification",
             "action": null,
             "content": null
         },
         {
             "id": "custom-item-4",
             "type": "input",
             "icon": "dot-circle-o",
             "text": "Payload",
             "action": null,
             "content": null
         },
         {
             "id": "custom-item-5",
             "type": "button",
             "icon": "dot-circle-o",
             "text": "Send",
             "action": "NOTIFICATION",
             "content": {
                  "notification": null,
                  "payload": null
             }
         }
         ]
      }
   ]
}

The button (last entry) should now send an notification with the values from the input fields above.
something like this:

         {
             "id": "custom-item-5",
             "type": "button",
             "icon": "dot-circle-o",
             "text": "Send",
             "action": "NOTIFICATION",
             "content": {
                  "notification": "custom-item-3".value,
                  "payload": "custom-item-4".value
             }
         }

So how can i get the value from my input items?
Thanks :)

And another question. Is there a security problem when im neither using an ApiKey nor the secureEndpoints? Im using it in my private secured wifi with only me inside.

@AxLed Now it works with gpio=16=ip,pu
Do the changes in boot.txt affect the Raspberry Pi in any way i have to know?

Thanks a lot so far :)

Hello @AxLed

first

• Idea A: didnt solve the problem. Still no click
• Idea B: I tried capacitors and software debouncing. Still no click

I will use this python script to get the click working:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
BUTTON_PIN = 16
GPIO.setup(BUTTON_PIN, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)

and start it within node_helper.js:

var child_process = require('child_process');

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
	// Subclass start method.
  start: function() {
		var self = this;
		this.loaded = false;
		this.createRoutes();
		child_process.execFile('python', ['/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Navigate/ky-040-initialisieren.py']);
	},

Now it works.

Btw: In intializeRotary-function (node_helper.js) there ist a CLK and DT.read and also a CLK and DT.watch instruction. For the SW there is only a SW.watch but not a read instruction. Is that right? Just wanted to mention. Im not an expert in programming.

third
Yes, the error is gone :)

@AxLed
I will try that later. Thanks
And yes, i want to start MMM-Navigate hidden. Is that possible?

Hello @AxLed , thanks for your reply

first

• rotation works fine but the button press does not
• i use your standard configuration so it seems to be BCM 19
• PI 3 B+, stretch, MM 2.14.0

I tried MMM-Buttons too. Same problem there. I first have to run a sample script with python and after that the button works in MM too. It uses the onoff library too.

I found a strange behaviour:
I start MM -> button click doesnt work
I start python test script and after that MM -> button click works
When i restart the Raspberry PI and start MM (without the python test script) -> button click works
When i shutdown the Raspberry PI and cut off the connection to an electricity source and restart the PI after that -> button click doesnt work

Thats strange isnt it?

second

I changed the hiding time from 10000 to 2000 cause i prefer a shorter time.
Is there a way to start the module hidden?
I tried following:

    // Define start sequence.

    start: function() {

        Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);

        this.sendConfig();//pass config to node_helper.js

        this.hide();

    },

and this

    //Helper, to use module without Rotary Encoder and without GPIO Pins, like developing in Pixel VM

    notificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {

        if(notification === "CW" || notification === "CCW" || notification === "PRESSED"){

            this.naviaction({inputtype: ""+ notification +""});

        }

        if(notification === "SHELLCOMMAND"){

             this.sendSocketNotification(notification, payload);

        } 

        if(notification === "MODULE_DOM_CREATED"){

             this.hide();

        }

    },

but both didnt take effect :(

third

I found an reproducable error:
When i start MM and first rotate counterclockwise there is an error in the MM console:

[09.01.2021 09:11.07.337] [LOG]   MMM-Navigate, listen on GPIO PINs (BCM): 26,20,19

[09.01.2021 09:11.18.306] [ERROR] Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
[09.01.2021 09:11.18.321] [ERROR] ReferenceError: lastdir is not defined

    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at pollerEventHandler (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Navigate/node_modules/onoff/onoff.js:134:32)

It doesnt effect the functionality but just wanted to mention it… ;)

Hello @AxLed ,

Two things:

First

I have the same issue like @Eisblume :

The click doesnt work.
When i then start a sample code to test the rotary encoder (from like here), the click works in the sample code.
If i start the Magic Mirror after that again, then the click works there too.

Maybe there is a missing initialization of the rotary encoder in your code?

Second

Is there a possibility to get more config possibilities?
Like starting the module hidden or shortening the time of the hiding process?

Thanks in advance :)

@sdetweil
Thank you, that worked.
Is there a reason why 10.23 and not the newest 14.15.3 or 15.0?

@sdetweil

sudo apt remove nodejs
sudo apt install nodejs

still Version 9.11.2 :(

@sdetweil

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
v9.11.2
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v
6.14.10

node seems to be outdated?
I will try to update it
