i can't swipe the newsfeed using the gesture sensor, seems i don't get a notificaton from the gesture sensor to the newsfeed and the compliment module.
serial monitor on arduiono shows LEFT, RIGHT UP....

Hi @sommer05, Here are a few hints for trouble shooting:

  • While events are inspected with serial monitor, the MMM-Gestures module cannot see the events. Ensure you have the Arduino serial monitor closed.
  • Confirm you're using the right interface. E.g. if you run ls /dev/ttyACM* it should return a list of USB devices, including e.g. /dev/ttyACM0. If not, then consider changing https://github.com/thobach/MMM-Gestures/blob/master/node_helper.js#L104 from ACM to USB
  • Ensure the module configuration is added to config.js
  • Check Magic Mirror logs for any warnings or errors
  • Check that you're using the default newsfeed and compliment module
