<![CDATA[MMM-NYC-Transit Module (Black Screen)]]>Hi All,
I am getting a black screen after installing this module. Can I get some help reviewing what might have caused it. This is a new install on a RPI 3.
I read this post thinking I may get insight into issue but to no avail. I even registered for a new API key and that wasn’t it.

This is my current config.

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

This is what the module looked like in my config

  {
              module: 'MMM-nyc-transit',
              disabled: "true",
              position: "bottom_right",

              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.

and the screen is not black

if it were disabled, NOTHING about the module would show…

same as if that entry was not in config.js at all

The Mirror loads as normal.
Something I find weird is even with the module disabled, its header is still shown.

if u add

disabled: true,

to the module definition
right after the module name

{
 module:'MMM-NYC-Transit',
 disabled: true,                                 // add this line
 ...
 config: {
 }
}

does the black screen go away?

are there any errors shown, typically red text
