MMM-Flights

A new module showing flights in a defined area.

I know there are at least 2 modules out using the same api, but this one additionally shows the planes on a map.

Git Repo: https://gitlab.com/khassel/MMM-Flights

For installation instructions and config options visit the above url.

That’s so cool. I need more space on my screen for all the nice things out there.

@majorc

Thanks! I can confirm that space is a problem ;)

@KI6UVE he was showing you WHERE it went… NOT the whole thing

a module defintion is { to }

inside the modules: [] list

  {
      module: "MMM-Flights",
      position: "top_left",
      config: {
        laMin: 50.0,
        laMax: 50.21,
        loMin: 8.4,
        loMax: 8.8,
      },
    },

@KI6UVE as I said, a (every) module entry starts with { and ends with }

read and practice the topics in my signature below, others wrote the posts, but they are super helpful for beginners

@KI6UVE said in MMM-Flights:

MESA-LOADER: failed to open kms_swrast: /user/lib/dri/kms_swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file

this seems to be related to the new default user setup on pi…

another user said this worked

sudo usermod -a -G render pi 

(add user pi to the render group)

@karsten13

Is there a way to configure the flight data output to make the units Imperial instead of metric?

[karsten13]

@KI6UVE

no, but should not be a big thing to implement this.

I see the m for the height and km/h for speed, so what are the correct imperial units?

ft for m?
mph for km/h?
