MMM-PublicTransportBerlin - Public transport for Berlin and Brandenburg (departures)

[Beh]

Hey, @dbahn25

@olexs forked my module and added a fetcher for the whole DB transportation net to it. So you can use the whole DB net with the look of my module. ;)

Here it is:

First of all, I really appreciate these transport modules, great job.
With the new MMM-PublicTransportDB module, a nationwide transport checking is possible in theory, but I might have some problems with this.
After getting my station ID of interest from a csv-file of the Deutsche Bahn (http://download-data.deutschebahn.com/static/datasets/haltestellen/D_Bahnhof_2016_01_alle.csv), and implementing the module in the MagicMirror config file, either the module displays a loading string “lade…” or that no transport connection is found for this station…
I tried several stationIDs, the ones in the Github-example included, but none seem to work for me.
Any more ideas how to get it working?
Below my current config-file:

{
    module: 'MMM-PublicTransportDB',
    position: 'top_left',
    config: {
       stationId: 8079125,
       }
},

If I got this right only one parameter is necessary -> stationID, the rest is not required for now.

Hey @Jay, what Node.js version are you running?

Is it possible to add “express” to the TransportationTypes/excludedTransportationTypes? I just want to show IC/ICE/EC trains. The API from vbb-rest is supporting this feature.

[Beh]

@TobiasAlw could you please provide a link for me? Where can I find this feature in the vbb-rest documentation?

[Beh]

@TobiasAlw Ahh, I see. Yeah, this should work. Just add all the transportation types you don’t want to see to the excludedTransportationTypes string in your configuration.

All transportation types are listed here under “other parameters”.

Hi Beh, great module! Thanks!
It works on a standard browser (firefox, Win10) with node.js server side on a raspberry pi zero. But on midori installed on the pi zero it doesn’t appear on the screen.

node -v : v7.7.1
npm -v : 4.1.2

Do you have any idea?

[Beh]

@Photon2000 Yeah, the problem is, that midori doesn’t support ECMAScript 6 (ES6) features. But the module is using some of them.

Unfortunately I don’t have much time in the near future to convert the module to vanilla JavaScript in ES5 for you. You could try to convert the code with a compiler like Babel. Then it should work with midori.

[Photon2000]

@Beh Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! So I have two choices: finding a browser for th pi zero that supports ES6 or switch to PI2/3. Fair enough. I guess that other modules use ES6 too.

Hi all,
good news for Pi Zero users:
The new image “Raspbian Jessie with PIXEL” comes bundled with the chromium browser. I’ve installed it tonight and chromium works on the Pi Zero (W). If I connect to a serveronly installation of MagicMirror the “ES6-problematic” modules (im my case: compliments, MMM-PublicTransportBerlin) comes up.

It’s not that fluently; CPU is 100% but it work’s.
