    • Connect to new wifi network via touchscreen on-screen keyboard

      I’m running a raspberry pi 4 with a DeWoYo IR Frame and it’s going to be in another location soon.

      I was wondering if it is possible to build a module that can toggle a scan for nearby wifi points, then allow the user to select a wifi network, then have the on-screen keyboard pop up to put in the wifi password.
      Better yet, does a plugin that does this already exist?

      Second, is there a “chalkboard” type of module that would allow the user to drag their finger through the IR plane and leave a quick, large note in the middle of the board?

    • Flick Hat, Skywriter, IR, HC-SR04, or other Gesture Controllers that work out of the box(ish).

      I’ve been reading through the forums here for the past few days. I cannot get a consensus whether either of these work with myriad MMM-gesture modules available for my RasPi 3B+ without requiring an Arduino or PC such as is required with the Leap Motion.

      I have found posts regarding the Flick Hat, Flick Large, and Skywriter hat, maybe a camera?, and the MMM-Swipe module that uses two 2 HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors, and perhaps the Grove Gesture. Which seems to work best at this time? As it stands right now, the Flick Large seems to be the best candidate.

      We’d need swipe left, right, up, down and some mouse-like touch capability would be an added bonus. We’d need the gesture board against the wall below the magic mirror so which one allows for a ribbon cable connection to the raspi which will be mounted behind the mirror?

      I can’t seem to determine whether these worked without requiring much technical insight which I don’t possess. I don’t have much programming experience at all and consider myself a novice.

    • RE: US and World Population Clock (like census.gov website)

      @bhepler thank you!! Working like a charm.

    • US and World Population Clock (like census.gov website)

      Today I stumbled across the US Govt’s online population clock: https://www.census.gov/popclock/
      I was wondering if anyone had the expertise to reproduce that top panel into a MMM-PopClock module.

      I found the MMM-Census module - and it’s cool - but the popclock with the animated odometers & bar chart timers on the magic mirror would be incredible.
