MMM-Flights Not Working

sdetweil

@KI6UVE well, there SHOULD be ‘something’ loading etc…

this is what I see

i did git clone
then cd MMM-Flights
then npm install
I just copied the module sample config

KI6UVE

I used the exact same install technique. Could you post your code section with the module above and below the flights module so I can see how it is supposed to be nested in the config file? The module author said I’m missing a { somewhere.

Thanks!

@KI6UVE
Your config.js should be as follows

{
module: “MMM-Flights”,
position: “middle_center”,
config: {
laMin: 33.183537,
laMax: 32.849596,
loMin: -117.204895,
loMax: -116.790161,
               }
},

Note the } without the comma closes off the config part. (With the comma, closes the module)

@KI6UVE it was only in the paste above

Here is the section in my config.js file:

{
module: “MMM-Flights”,
position: “middle_center”,
config: {
laMin: 33.183537,
laMax: 32.849596,
loMin: -117.204895,
loMax: -116.790161,
},

you would have had a fatal startup error otherwise…

did u npm install in the module folder?

your config looks ok

Got it working. Thanks to all!!

@KI6UVE what was it?

@sdetweil

I was missing the } to close out the flights module.

My coordinates do not include the ocean, but my map extends the width of the entire screen to include areas outside my area of interest. Do you know if there is a way to constrain it to just the area of interest?

@KI6UVE

you may should choose another (smaller) module position, middle_center uses the whole screen.

You can see the area of your coordinates in the map, there are small arrows in the area corners.

The map size can be controlled with css.

Thanks, bottom center is much better. I just compared the map to my iPad version of Flightradar and the MM module doesn’t seem to be showing any air traffic.

I already mentioned the fix for this:

laMin and laMax should be switched
