MMM-Traffic config error

[bocapie]

Hello I am new to Magic Mirror.
I can get my mirror to work with the
default modules. I am running his
example config. with my api key from
google. I am making sure all my settings
match in the MMM-Traffic.js file.
If I could see someone else working
config file. I could see where I am
going wrong. Thank in advance
for the help.

Hi, that’s a part of my config.js with the trafic module for you as an example.

                {
                        "module": "MMM-Traffic",
                        "position": "top_left",
                        "header": "YourHeaderName",
                        "classes": "bright small",
                        "config": {
                                "api_key": "xxxxxxxxxYourApiKeyxxxxxxxxxx",
                                "mode": "driving",
                                "language": "de",
                                "show_summary": "true",
                                "origin": "YourStartLocation",
                                "destination": "YourDestinationLocation",
                                "arrival_time": "0700",
                                "route_name": "YourRouteName",
                                "changeColor": true,
                                "showGreen": false,
                                "limitYellow": 5,
                                "limitRed": 20,
                                "traffic_model": "pessimistic",
                                "interval": 120000
                        }
                        },

Thank you for that I figured out where I messed up. It loads now but, just says loading commute… now.

Quick question on apikey and origin,destination. Do I need to put them in both the config.js and module MMM-Traffic.js file?

@bocapie no only in the config file.

Everything you put in the config file will overwrite the values in the module

@strawberry-3.141 okay, I ran a npm start dev and get a error
Error: ENOENT, open "/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/dev/package.json

[strawberry 3.141]

@bocapie you are in the wrong directory do cd ~/MagicMirror first

[bocapie]

@strawberry-3.141 Yes I am in that directory.

I think i figured it out. Debug says my node is out of date.
