Hi,

I’m a total beginner to this and have only installed 3 modules previous to this one. When I try to add this new one (MMM-SL-PublicTransport) the magicmirror displays the message ‘Please create a config file.’

If anyone could help me out I would be very grateful ! Here’s the code including the module above it (MMM-Screencast, which works fine):

{ module: 'MMM-Screencast', position: 'bottom_right', // This position is for a hidden <div /> and not the screencast window config: { position: 'bottomCenter', height: 600, width: 750, } }, { module: 'MMM-SL-PublicTransport', position: 'top_right', header: 'Busses', config: { apikey: 'Ipostedmyapihere', // REQUIRED. stations: [ // REQUIRED at least one entry. // Definition of the stations that you would like to see { stationId: 'Ipostedmystationidhere', // REQUIRED. An id of a station. You need to run the utility // findStation to get the id(s) of the station(s) you want. stationName: 'stationnamehere',// Optional. This is the name of the station. // It's shown in the header if you have set a header on the module // excludeTransportTypes: [], // Optional. This is an array of types of transport that you DONT // want to see. If not present then all transport types are shown. // The types are: 'Bus', 'Train', 'Metro', 'Tram' and 'Ship'. lines: [ // Optional. An array of lines that you want to see departing from // this station. { line: line-id, // The id of the line direction: dir, // Optional. If present only show departures in this direction // for this line. swapDir: false // Optional. If true, change dir 1 to 2 and vice versa. // Shall be used with the "In to town" feature. Note that // if direction is defined, that shall be direction swapped to. } ] }, ], maxDestinationLength: 999, // Optional, will truncate the destination string to the set length. displaycount: 10, // Optional, show this number of departures for each direction. omitDeparturesLeft: false, // Optional, if set to true departures that have left the station // is not shown. showdisturbances: false, // Not implemented yet fade: true, // Optional. Shall the table of departures be faded or not fadePoint: 0.2, // Optional. Fraction from end where to start fading delayThreshhold: 60, // Optional. If a departure is delayed or in advance only // show this // if the delay/advance is greater than this number in // seconds. updateInterval: 5*60*1000, // Optional. Number of milliseconds between calls to // Trafiklab's API. This value shall preferably be larger then 1 min // There are limitations on number of calls per minute and month highUpdateInterval: {}, // Optional if you dont need it don't define it. // If defined use higher frequences for updates, see // "Set what times to update more frequently" below uiUpdateInterval: 1000, // Optional. Number of milliseconds between updates of the // departure list. This value shall preferably be less then 10 sec SSL: false, // Optional. Use https to access the TrafikLab services, // defaults to false since I have experienced problems // accessing this service over https. Have an ongoing // discussion with TrafikLab debug: false, // Optional. Enable some extra output when debugging ignoreSanityCheck: false, // Optional. If set to true config sanity checks are not done. useDisplayTime: false, // Optional. If true use the actual displaytime that is // received via the API instead of the ExpectedDateTime and // TimeTabledDateTime. See the DisplayTime section below. cleanHeader: false, // If set to true the last update time is not shown // in the header showIcon: true // Optional. If true show an icon of the type of transport } }, ] };

The parts I have changed are apikey, stationId and stationName

Thanks in advance

@hayman Since the app framwork is electron. I really just made a time displayer using javascript. Here is a tutorial on how to do it.

@sdetweil Actualy JSON requires quotation of the key and of the value (if the value is a string)

Example of a JSON file:

{ "string": "This is a string", "bool": true, "int", 1, "float": 3.14, "arrayOfStrings": [ "string1", "string2" ], "arrayOfInts": [ 1, 2 ] }

The same can be used in a Javascript file, but as an object. You can also throw away the quotation of the keys.

If you have config file copy config.sample
Start again copy the sample file to your documents and downloads.
Remove sample from the configuration file
Start again
Remember start with {
Code
Ends in },

It’s not always easy to see what’s wrong as the code you are using could be wrong .

as l’ve not used this module l cannot say
Keep trying your get their in the end
If it go wrong it’s easy to start again.

What type of mirror are you using? It’s not a 50/50 as mines is that and it is not as reflective as your one, so is it a 75/20 Pilkington Mirrorview?

Thanks.
