    • RE: MMM-Modulebar - A module that adds touch buttons for showing/hiding other modules.

      @tosti007 Yes! That’s exactly what I wanted. :) I’m using your modules for accessing the “profiles” and my module as a “quick” option to just view one thing.

      Thank YOU, for making the first module. :)

    • RE: console.Log() shows nothing?

      Hmm… I don’t have any custom css om my develop-version of MM, but the problem is of course that you will not see the pointer when moving over to the “mirror” if you are using a mouse.
      You can add a custom.css with only:

      body {
        cursor: pointer;
       }
      

      then you will see where you “are” when moving the mouse. :)
      But you should not need anything else.

    • RE: IR Touchframe suggestions?

      @mortenbirkelund I have read all of the 10 first topics in that search. :) But as I said before. It’s better with two brains googeling then one. :)

    • RE: IR Touchframe suggestions?

      @mortenbirkelund Nah, I DO think there is a solution. I have just not found it yet. :) It’s better to be two persons “googeling” I guess. I may also have missed something, you never know. Do you want to share the tutorials you have found? I can try them out. :)
      I bought this frame: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32-points-32-Inch-IR-Multi-touch-overlay-kit-without-glass-for-Interactive-Table-Multi-Touch/1195149819.html
      Another thing that also got me to rethink to a bigger screen was the fact that the “Facial-Recognition” is not very fast. I never got it to recognize me faster then about 10-15 seconds standing in front of the camera (and that without it being behind the mirror and in daylight), and therefore it’s to slow. It may be OK for me, but I KNOW my wife never will agree to “wait” for the mirror to show her stuff. It’s a cool idea, but… So I also set it up to have “touch” buttons for each profile (with MMM-TouchNavigation)… Well… It’s still some road to walk before my mirror is complete. I’m currently waiting fir the actual mirror. :)

    • RE: IR Touchframe suggestions?

      @mortenbirkelund I have only tried with Jessie and Jessie Lite on a RPi 3. Nothing else. It may work in another dist or with another hardware. But I really don’t know why It’s not “applying” the values. The file(s) are read (I tested that by “breaking” them and that gives errors…). So the system goes through them when booting, but the values are not applied… I have been googeling my eyes out on this. :)

    • RE: IR Touchframe suggestions?

      Hi @Core-Contributors @mortenbirkelund! I have bought a IR Frame (32 inch) from AliExpress actually. :)
      And it works as a “HID” device. There are no drivers for ARM that I could find. Just so you know. You can also use the xinput_calibaration tool, but I can’t get the values to stick. Not in any on the suggested conf-files. My plan where to buy a slightly bigger IR-frame then my monitor, to be able to have the camera behind the mirror. But, due to the lac of possibility to “set” the active surface (with the calibration tool) I’m rethinking… (bought a bigger screen…).
      And if you want to use it in portrait mode (I do), the only way I found was to enter in the following after boot (I’m doing it from SSH manually for the moment): DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop "Multi touch Multi touch overlay device" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
      the only problem I’m facing right now is to get that command to start at the correct time, basically everything has to have been started before entering it.
      The HID device do support multi-touch, and you can “Zoom” the mirror. If that’s what you want. But I really only use it for single point. The precision is ok but it’s a bit hard to “not” klick when pointing (whatever you want to do that for in this application). :)

      Ask away if you have any questions. :)

    • RE: MMM-ModuleScheduler - Module Schedules and Notifications

      Hi there!
      Thank you for this excellent module! :)
      I would like to use the scheduler together with “Profile Switcher”.

      Scenario:

      • Let’s say normally I always show “Clock”, “Monthly calendar” and “Wounderground Weather” (local weather).
      • Then on Mondays and Wednesdays at 05:30 to 07:30 I would like to also show “Weather” and “weather forecast” (in my case for another location).
      • Then I would like to have a “profile” called “Snille” who (when activated) shows all of the above plus also “System Status” and “Bitcoin” (for example).

      I have tried this, but it seams that when a module is scheduled, it get’s “locked” by the scheduler and therefore the “Profile Switcher” can not show it…

      Getting this in the console (when selecting the profile):
      Will not show currentweather. LockStrings active: module_0_MMM-ModuleScheduler
      Will not show weatherforecast. LockStrings active: module_0_MMM-ModuleScheduler

      If I “force” to unlock (using my Modlulebar to show and hide) the module it can be showed with the “Profile Switcher”.

      I’m thinking… Do you have to “lock” the modules with the scheduler? :)

    • RE: MM-Navbar - Navigation Bar for Touchscreens to hide/show modules

      Hi! I made a similar module for the same purpurs. You can always copy some code if you want…
      You can find it here in the forums. :)
      Or on github.

    • RE: IR Frame doesn't rotate

      @strawberry-3.141 Yes, I read that to, but it may also mean like vertical like a monitor (normal landscape) and horizontal like a table (but still in landscape). :)

    • RE: IR Frame doesn't rotate

      @strawberry-3.141 Nope, not yet, not sure who to ask really… It’s even kind of hard to find the brand itself…
      It’s this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32-points-32-Inch-IR-Multi-touch-overlay-kit-without-glass-for-Interactive-Table-Multi-Touch/1195149819.html
      The model number is at least: NECO-X
      Much more then that is hard to find… :)
      At least they have support for Linux as a HID compatible device (that should be enough I think).
      And it does work, just not in portrait… So, I’m thinking it got to be configurable on the “input-device” itself in rasbian… I just can’t find how. :)
