@j.e.f.f

Ohh right, number of weeks. I was thinking it was number of events. Makes sense!

OK, First off Jeff, thank you for this. i cloned and installed and ran the test file you had and everything is working perfectly. So i started to make my own Custom file exactly how you said and no matter what i still continue to get a “loading” so i switch back to your file and it works. I have no idea what im doing wrong.!

@waynerigley The screenshot of your google drive isn’t helpful, because the final result likely has leading/trailing blank spaces, or some other issue that prevents it from parsing correctly. Edit schedule_custom.csv directly at the command line on your raspberry pi.

@twosquirrels Thank you for the FAST reply… as im new to this please bare with me. im using putty and VNC and FIleZilla while using this. I made the excel on google and downloaded it to my laptop in CSV with the correct name. then filezilla to get it to the folder. can you give me a command to check what you need me to do. thanks in advance !

@waynerigley

In putty, once you ssh into your raspberry pi, do:

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MyWastePickup

Then:

sudo nano schedule_custom.csv

You’re now viewing the contents of schedule_custom.csv. I don’t remember if it included a sample or not, but just edit/type/paste your data here. When done, press Control X to exit. It will ask to save, and say “Y” for yes. The contents of the file should look like my post above from 2 months ago.

Thank you for that, new tool for me to remember ! well take a look, it all looks ok to me…

@waynerigley Remove the double quotes from your entire file. For example, it should look like this:

Calendar,WeekStarting,GreenBin,Garbage,Recycling,YardWaste,ChristmasTree

Not this:

"Calendar,WeekStarting,GreenBin,Garbage,Recycling,YardWaste,ChristmasTree"

Also, remove them from the beginning and end of all following lines.

@waynerigley Great! As tiny as this module is, it’s one of the things I appreciate most about the magic mirror. There’s no API to depend on… just a plain old text file that I update once a year.
