MMM-EOL

The Encyclopedia of Life

Here's what you get

  • First, you are greeted by Charles Darwin on the cover of the encyclopedia.

  • Then, a rotation of images and information about the life form you choose.

  • Virtually every form of life on Earth to choose from. (Plants, Fish, Mammals, Reptiles, Birds etc..)

  • I will add life forms as requested. There's just too many to include all of them.

  • "Cats" will include ALL cats, or you can choose a specific species. (Lions, Tigers, etc..)

  • You determine how much or how little information is displayed in config file. (dLength: option)

  • Config option to scroll text to conserve Mirror Real estate

Examples

Installation

  • git clone https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-EOL into the ~/MagicMirror/modules directory.

  • No API key needed. No dependencies. No kidding!

  • Annotated .css file included for sizing and coloring.

Config.js entry and options

{
    module: 'MMM-EOL',                  // Best in left, right or center regions
    position: 'top_left',
    config: {
       lifeForm: "Seals",                // See Life Form list below. Only the name of the lifeForm.
   scrollDes: "yes",                // yes = scroll description, no = static description
       dLength: 400,                    // Amount of descriptive text. Higher for more, lower for less
       useHeader: false,                // false if you don't want a header      
       header: "",                      // Change in config file. useHeader must be true
       maxWidth: "300px",
       animationSpeed: 0,               // no fade (increase for transition)
       rotateInterval: 1 * 60 * 1000,   // 1 minute
    }
},
