Is anyone using their MM/RPi to monitor their broadband speed and uptime? I intend to use speedtest-cli with an MM graphing/display module. Just curious about how much bandwidth and memory it consumes, performance on an RPi, any existing/purpose-built modules, or other ideas/thoughts. Thanks!

@elaniobro IIRC, your folder and filename should match the Module.register() call exactly. So your folder should be MMM-my-module (and NOT MMM-MY-module). You also have an error in loader.js so that’s my guess. It’s doesnt look like loader.js does any manipulation except to add/compare to loadedFiles.

@maxbachmann You could write it in a CSV/tabular format and use a converter to transform it into JSON array format. You can also do it locally if you’re so inclined.

Does MM on the Zero start successfully without your custom module? Have you checked the naming of your module folder, files, config on the Zero? When you edit the files remotely in nano, do they look right (no encoding issues, etc)?

@twosquirrels It looks like you need to use the using_nunjucks branch. The default branch is still (it seems to me, on my phone) 1.0 – it doesn’t contain an .njk template file.

@himanshulotia Yes.

First, you can set colored: true in the config, then add color: "#d9b4b2” and color: "#a0cfe2" per the docs.

Second, have a look at the FontAwesome 4 docs. You could likely insert them into your headings. For how to insert images, you could probably use CSS if you can find the right selectors.

@twosquirrels Does MMM-MyCalendar support a column layout? I can’t find any reference to a columns property for its config: https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCalendar/blob/master/README.md

@postremalone Fastest way to show MM is to have the RPi already running, then simply turn on the the display. Check out this thread here for use with a PIR or other sensor/button. Apparently, because it already draws such little power, there is no desire to implement suspend on RPi.

As for speeding up boot, as @lavolp3 said, the issue is not the logo, but booting the OS. You can strip down the Raspbian boot for speed, but it will never be instantaneous (sub 1 sec). You can apparently get down to 10 seconds with a stripped down distro and Class 10 SD card.

@rak I suggest you avoid using z-indexing, margins and absolutely positioning unless you added them (and understand their effects).

Here’s a site doing fundamentally what you want: https://css-tricks.com/methods-contrasting-text-backgrounds/

.clock div.time.bright.large.light {
  color: white;
  mix-blend-mode: difference;
}

I expect that it should work, but will depend on how the wallpaper is inserted into the DOM.

@zdenek No problem, it happens to all of us. Glad to hear it’s working!
