@Jopyth Hey so i was going through your MMM-Remote-Control API and i had some questions.
So i am trying to make a python script that detects a swiping motion to then change pages, but since this is a seperatte python script (not in a module), the MMM-pages module cant accept the notifications given to it.
So the creater of MMM-pages, told me if i had a look at your API i could possible achieve this. but after giving it a thorough read, i was having difficulty figuring it out.

So essentially i wanted something like this

def swiper():
  #code here to detect swipe
  if leftSwipe:
    #send a notification to pages to go left
  if rightSwipe:
    #send a notification to pages to go right

@bhepler cool i will have a look through, for MMM-Globe do you know which style they used to get this ?

@bhepler Yea i have a raspberry 2 b+ so i dont think it can handle the ecnom globe module, so could you tell me the one that is like MMM-Globe but for the moon and any other modules that will look really nice and that my raspberry pi will probably be able to handle?

@bhepler Yea i am mainly looking for things that would impress, i like the MMM-Globe module and other suggestions that would look really cool on a mirror and that would impress

This was meant to be an open topic but i see your point,
So basically i wanted a mirror which could display time and the weather but after finding out theres a whole community on this i wanted to take a step further. But i dont know where to start. This mirror will be going in my room and most of the time i will be the only one looking at the mirror.

currently i am working on getting ultrasonic sensors to work with pages so i can do a sliding motion and switch pages.

If there are other questions to help me out please post on this forum

Thanks

Hey guys,
So i during these times, i am locked inside my house because the situation going on. So i am wondering if you guys have any suggestions as to what i could add to my magic mirror software wise(since i dont have my build done yet). Anything from adding new cool modules to anything else.

Thanks

@sdetweil oh ok oh well then

@sdetweil so is this problem solvable or should i find another module?

@sdetweil after reasearching a bit i dont think this modules works anymore with the new updates of pi and MMM a ssaid here
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/205/mmm-swipe-hand-gestures/32

@sdetweil so i had a look and apparently this was missing || hardware === 'BCM2835' from else if (hardware === 'BCM2709' || hardware === 'BCM2835') but when i added that now its giving a different error
