Still a work in progress! I’ve managed to pull score data from the espn site, but exchanging the data between the python script and node helper is really challenging me. I was trying to just reverse engineer one of the other scoring modules, but both my parsing method and lack of javascript experience have made this really really difficult. I’ve been studying several tutorials and working on building simple modules from scratch just to make sure I understand all the socketNotification exchanges.

Now that I’m getting a feel for it, I’ll probably re-write the parser in javascript. It’s a slow process, but I plan to stay at it until it’s done or someone else makes it first. :)

Still a long way to go, but I’ll keep working at this till I make something work! :)

The parser is available here if anybody wants to play around with displaying the data.

It’s the first original code I’ve written in a very long time so forgive me if it’s not pretty. ;)

yes you will need both imports, as they are used in this function

this should pass the full array

These are very helpful. I assume I will also need to

import sys
import json

at the top of my file?

Right now I’m storing data in a few arrays in my .py file. For example, I have an array where

homeTeam[gameNum]

will display the string of the home team name.

Will this pass the full array?

to_node("home teams", homeTeam)

in the python script you will need this function to return a json object to your node helper https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/blob/master/facerecognition/facerecognition.py#L25

in the node_helper you would need this function https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/blob/master/node_helper.js#L9

what variables are unclear to you, name them and we can try to explain them
