trouble with MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes

laschalkh

Hi Sam,

ok, got it all running and it is working. Your script works very well. I tried adding MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic as well and that seems to kill the mirror. It says it can’t find the config file. As long as I leave that out, it’s working.

@laschalkh u might want my version of Googlemapstraffic, as the original is broken

laschalkh

yea, that’s the one I’m trying. I just tried that module only and it’s not working. I ran the install again and it is warning about grunt styles not being installed. Seems like it’s missing parts.

@laschalkh thats noise

you did the git clone
cd
and then npm install

right?

so, whats your config section look like… no one has had trouble installing it, it was a run problem I fixed…

laschalkh

yup, went through and did the install and such

 {
                        module: 'MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic',
                        position: 'bottom_left',
                        config: {
                                key: '< my key>',
                                lat: < my lat>,
                                lng: < my long>,
                                height: '300px',
                                width: '300px'
                                styledMapType: "transparent",
                                disableDefaultUI: true,
                                backgroundColor: 'hsla(0, 0%, 0%, 0)',
                                markers: [
                                        {
                                                lat: <my lat>,
                                                lng: <my long>,
                                                fillColor: '#9966ff'
                                        },
                                ],
                        },
                },

@laschalkh how are u specifying lat/lng (in both places, right)

like this (good)

lat:30.4623841,

or this (bad)

lat:"30.4623841",

laschalkh

sdetweil

@laschalkh said in trouble with MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes:

/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js:73
styledMapType: “transparent”,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

rule number 1 debugging syntax errors:

IF you see ’ Unexpected identifier’, find the line number
config.js:73

back up one line (72), and check for the missing , at the end
