      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.!0_1527603197851_Custom.jpg

        @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.

            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.

                @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.

                        @twosquirrels One question for you is; if Gargabe is being picked up on the 14th at am we put the garbage out on the 13th before bed. so should i put the date on the custom as 13th. only reason is i notice the text string showing “today” on the screen.
