MMM-PublicTransportBerlin - Public transport for Berlin and Brandenburg (departures)

done

(repost - too many spelling mistakes - couldn’t edit - don’t know which mistakes I’ve been missing now ;) )

I guess this is a “problem” of the rest api.
I live in an area where I have different stations to choose.
There is an underground station about 500 m away. A bus station also about 500 m and two other underground stations within 1 km.
I tried another module that uses the google api and it offered more than one station but only for a specific route/destination.
What I want is a module that shows all reachable stations in my area (let’s say within 1 km) with the next departure times without a specific destination.
If you want to check: I live in the area of Hohenstaufenstraße/Heilbronner Straße. Possible underground stations are Bayerischer Platz, Viktoria-Luise-Platz and Spichernstraße. Additionally there are 2-3 bus lines in that area I which use.
I think, there is no solution. :)
Cheers

Hey @done,

I’ll look into this tomorrow night. maybe this issue can be solved… I’ve got some ideas… I’ll keep you updated!

Hey, @dbahn25

@olexs forked my module and added a fetcher for the whole DB transportation net to it. So you can use the whole DB net with the look of my module. ;)

Here it is:

First of all, I really appreciate these transport modules, great job.
With the new MMM-PublicTransportDB module, a nationwide transport checking is possible in theory, but I might have some problems with this.
After getting my station ID of interest from a csv-file of the Deutsche Bahn (http://download-data.deutschebahn.com/static/datasets/haltestellen/D_Bahnhof_2016_01_alle.csv), and implementing the module in the MagicMirror config file, either the module displays a loading string “lade…” or that no transport connection is found for this station…
I tried several stationIDs, the ones in the Github-example included, but none seem to work for me.
Any more ideas how to get it working?
Below my current config-file:

{
    module: 'MMM-PublicTransportDB',
    position: 'top_left',
    config: {
       stationId: 8079125,
       }
},

If I got this right only one parameter is necessary -> stationID, the rest is not required for now.

Hey @Jay, what Node.js version are you running?

Is it possible to add “express” to the TransportationTypes/excludedTransportationTypes? I just want to show IC/ICE/EC trains. The API from vbb-rest is supporting this feature.

Beh

@TobiasAlw could you please provide a link for me? Where can I find this feature in the vbb-rest documentation?

Beh

@TobiasAlw Ahh, I see. Yeah, this should work. Just add all the transportation types you don’t want to see to the excludedTransportationTypes string in your configuration.

All transportation types are listed here under “other parameters”.

Hi Beh, great module! Thanks!
It works on a standard browser (firefox, Win10) with node.js server side on a raspberry pi zero. But on midori installed on the pi zero it doesn’t appear on the screen.

node -v : v7.7.1
npm -v : 4.1.2

Do you have any idea?

Beh

@Photon2000 Yeah, the problem is, that midori doesn’t support ECMAScript 6 (ES6) features. But the module is using some of them.

Unfortunately I don’t have much time in the near future to convert the module to vanilla JavaScript in ES5 for you. You could try to convert the code with a compiler like Babel. Then it should work with midori.
