@TS77UK said in MMM-PIR-Sensor wont do anything:

echo “4” > /sys/class/gpio/export

Ignore that! I was looking at the wrong pin map for my model Pi! I should have been in number 4 not 7! As soon as I typed it I realised the answer lol

Thank you for your time

Just added it and it works perfect!!! Added a load of gratitude messages, if you have read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne then you will know what I mean

Thank you so much for your help!!!

Thank you for replying. I’ll be playing the music on my IPhone 7

Hi, I’m just wondering if there would be a way for MM to display the music playing on my Apple Music Playlist?

I can already imagine how it looks at the bottom_bar section! Song title in bold, underneath the artist name, and to the right the album cover.

Any ideas?

@strawberry-3.141 Brilliant!

Thank you

Only just noticed this! Would be great if you could have a config option to automatically use this display on 14th February. Just an idea

Just downloaded your file, unpackaged it and transferred it to a 16GB memory card. Plugged it into the Pi and got a Kernal error! No idea if its something I have done but hoped that you could take a look?

This is really bugging me! Ok, I am new to Pi programming but I have knowledge of a few programming languages and can usually tweak my head around problems but this has really stumped me!

I turned the PIR sensor away from me to show no movement. When I use “sudo ./test.sh” I get a load of 0’s on the screen displaying no movement. When I wave my hand in front I get a load of 1’s. So its working correctly.

I setup MMM-PIR-Sensor and change the pin from default to number 7 in the config file. Nothing happens on the screen. It doesn’t switch off when it senses no movement (like its supposed to)

This is my test.sh code (which works):

echo "4" > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio4/direction

while true;  do
        trap 'echo "4" > /sys/class/gpio/unexport' 0
        stat=`cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio4/value`
        echo $stat

done
exit 0

And my config code:

{
module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
config: {
sensorPIN: 7 
}
},

I just know its something simple but I am stumped!

Hi, first time posting on here and ready to get building! Just waiting till payday on Friday to get he mirror!! Already have the Pi3 up and running using scripts from this amazing forum.

Anyway, what I wanted to do was add a simple script in the top_bar that basically looks at the time and says “Good morning/afternoon/evening Tony” based on the time, so would need to have an autoupdate as well.

Is this doable? I’m sure it is but I have been working on the setup all day and so just need confirmation from someone on here who knows.

Thank you
