MMM-NYC-Transit Module (Black Screen)

[JediJah]

@sdetweil I figured thats why I said it was weird.

This is what the module looked like in my config

  {
              module: 'MMM-nyc-transit',
              disabled: "true",
              position: "bottom_right",
              header: "Next Train",
              config: {
                     apiKey: '9b76b0b756f7f9a76d4fe883075c00cf',
                                displayType: 'list',
                                mtaType: 'train',
                                stations: [
                                        {
                                        stationId: 95,
                                        walkingTime: 5,
                                        dir: {
                                                upTown: false,
                                                downTown: true
                                             }
                                        },
                                        {
                                        stationId: 95,
                                        walkingTime: 5,
                                        dir: {
                                                upTown: true,
                                                downTown: false
                                             }
                                        }
                                        ],
                                updateInterval: 300000
                }
                },

These are the steps I just tried…
recreated original circumstances that caused black screen (added Module to config) and yes the black screen still exist.

I assume that means there is issue with module config settings.

I tried to launch the Dev console, but it did not launch in same page as black mirror screen but a white page.

I will wait for your response before making changes to config.js file again.

          disabled: "true",

no, i said

disabled: true

no quotes

how do you start MM? using pm2 or manually

[JediJah]

@sdetweil Aww OK will adjust

[JediJah]

@sdetweil pm2

After adding disabled: true

Got "Please create a config file " error

[sdetweil]

@JediJah come on , the original instructions said

disabled: true, 

just about any new line requires a comma at the end

[JediJah]

@sdetweil Yeah that was my bad… the mirror loads now without the module…

@JediJah how do you start MM? using pm2 or manually

[sdetweil]

@JediJah ok, no stop mm using pm2

Looks like some files might be missing.

I did clone the repo as required??

@JediJah said in MMM-NYC-Transit Module (Black Screen):

Cannot find module ‘mta-realtime-subway-departures’

but it looks like you didn’t follow the module install instructions

1. clone this repo with the following command: git clone https://github.com/Elaniobro/MMM-nyc-transit.git
2. install all the npm modules with either yarn install or npm install

to do 2, you need to change into the module folder

git clone ......
cd MMM-nyc-transit
npm install

@sdetweil
Looks like I ran npm install on modules dir.

pi@MagicMirror2:~/MagicMirror/modules $ git clone https://github.com/Elaniobro/MMM-nyc-transit.git

I will correct as you noted.

@sdetweil Thank you immensely for you help. It is running now.
