MMM-Flights Not Working

[KI6UVE]

Does anyone have MMM-Flights working? I have it installed, and configured, but just a dead space in my MagicMirror. No indication that it is working at all. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

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,
},

@KI6UVE can u open the developer window and look for any errors in the console tab, with flight in the filter field

[KI6UVE]

@sdetweil
Seems odd, but absolutely nothing comes up with “flight” in the filter field.

There is this error without filtering:

@KI6UVE

did you install the module?

your config.js is missing a }

laMin and laMax should be switched

[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

@sdetweil

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!!

[sdetweil]

@KI6UVE what was it?

[KI6UVE]

@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?

[karsten13]

@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.

@karsten13

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:
