@teitlebot depends on the modules… mine hovers around 25% most of my modules update slowly calendar, weather

How can I get a specific picture to show based on a calendar day? Like if it’s July 4th show a flag…

@Burn78 perfect. thanks

You probably can either show the map image or an iframe in MM. Use the querystring params to update the marker parameters… https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/dev-guide

I can’t believe nobody has made a funny or carnival mirror module yet. I understand you need a camera as well but I think it works be great. I wish I knew how to code this.

@teitlebot you would have to add some code the check the current time against a stat/stop time you would add to the configuration.

Will do. It seems like all the components are there. One of those location clocks had a full walkthrough, including how to hook up the gears. The app for the phone exists, code examples exist, etc. The app includes a free tier of location processing & storage, so it seems like all of the hard stuff has already been done. I have one more mirror on my plate before I start work on my Weasley Clock. It should be fairly easy to turn that into a module. Should.

As a teacher I can tell you several You can talk about technology… microprocessors and how many millions of commands they execute per millisecond, memory, how what used to fill a room you can now put on a simple little SD card. Science - flow of electricity and how it all works for computers, how small tech is allowing for things such as medicine, communications and even how to make your home ‘smarter’ and use less energy. Health, entertainment [movies, sports] For an exercise let them come up with an idea how to use tech to make their lives easier… I could go on and on but I think you get the jist

@numb3rs sorry, no idea

@teitlebot ah ok…maybe using an iframe of some kind?

Never got it to display anything. Page could not load or something like that. Not on the Pi0 and also not remotely on another PC. After many attemps and long hours of troubleshooting and reading I finally gave up on it. I really would love to get it working though as I’d like to make another cheap mirror for my brother as a present. Still have a two-way-mirror lying around…

I have this strange issue where my pi changes what device number my USB mic is using randomly. This of course means that the audio stops working after a reboot until I modify the file again. Any ideas what can be causing this. I dont have anything else plugged in to usb ports.

@idoodler i thought it would be simple because hebcal provides a script with that information
