    Do you have a link to the old module?

      @yawns Sure, the code was added as part of jangellx’s mirror project.

      the actual JS file is located here

        Okay, looks rather simple. Do you want to develop it yourself and just need a push into the right direction? Or do you want one of us to do the conversion?

          @yawns I think maybe if you guys are able to do the conversion I can then dive in and figure out how to go from one to the other. If I try to do it I think I’d get stuck too many times as I am pretty poor in JS. I really appreciate it!

            Looks like it just needs a vehicle to display the info in the MM…

              @cowboysdude for the old MM we ended up using the other function that the developer wrote to refresh and display it on the page. I’m just not sure how I can display it on the MM2 or what I’d need to rewrite to get it to work.

                @ooom416354
                ok. Do you have an api key you could provide to me via chat/pm? Then I don’t need to request an own one just for testing purposes

                Nevermind, I got one :)

                    @cowboysdude problem is I am so new to it and I don’t really know the best way to test without actually uploading everything to the Pi. I was using notepad++ to write but for testing I had used xampp for the MM1. That doesn’t work with node I don’t think right? I am a programmer but work mostly as a SQL developer so I never had a need for learning JavaScript. Is there any particular class, site, etc. I can start out with to learn and actually develop myself? Thanks.

                      Could you please tell me your sStation code? I just did some testing with the JSON and noticed I don’t get up-to-date data.
                      When I run this I always get data from this morning: https://traintime.lirr.org/api/Departure?loc=CLP&api_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

                      I need to take a closer look into this later.
