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

[Beh]

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

[TobiasAlw]

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.

[Photon2000]

@Beh Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! So I have two choices: finding a browser for th pi zero that supports ES6 or switch to PI2/3. Fair enough. I guess that other modules use ES6 too.

[Photon2000]

Hi all,
good news for Pi Zero users:
The new image “Raspbian Jessie with PIXEL” comes bundled with the chromium browser. I’ve installed it tonight and chromium works on the Pi Zero (W). If I connect to a serveronly installation of MagicMirror the “ES6-problematic” modules (im my case: compliments, MMM-PublicTransportBerlin) comes up.

It’s not that fluently; CPU is 100% but it work’s.

@Beh
I did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade recently, so it has to be the latest version

[Jay]

Does anybody have a working stationID in order to test the module itself, so others can verify if the module is working?

[done]

@Jay
There is an ID mentioned in the readme

[Jay]

@done
the station ID in the readme of Berlin-Alexanderplatz indicates a “There are currently no departures.” message.
I think the readme is a bit deprecated, the modulename had to be reconfigered in the config as well.
All I need to know is, where can I get a list with the stationIDs? As I posted above, my source could be wrong for this task.
Any experience?

[done]

@Jay
Have you checked “How to get the stationId” in the readme?

I have no installation right now. Otherwise you could have my ID.
But as far as I remember it was pretty easy to get an id.
If it’s missing station names:

Zoologischer Garten
Osloer Straße
Ostkreuz
Westkreuz

Hope this helps.

[Beh]

Hey @Jay,
what did you have to change for the module name in the config?! o_O
I didn’t make any changes according this…

You can get valid station IDs via an easy cURL command as mentioned in the readme like this (you can do it from the mirror’s command line):

curl 'https://transport.rest/stations?query=alexanderplatz'

You just have to switch ‘alexanderplatz’ with your nearest station. This command will return all station fitting the search term.

@Beh
After the recent update from olexs (2-3 days ago), the module works like a charm.

[Beh]

Okay, I think there’s a misunderstanding here.

To make things clear for the future:
The Module from @olexs MMM-PublicTransportDB is not really the same as my MMM-PublicTransportBerlin. Olexs made some changes on the original module to use the data from DB (Deutsche Bahn) while my module is just using the data from VBB (Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg).

I think this could be the reason why the stationIds you used did not work @Jay. Since you used a stationId from VBB for DB data. I didn’t test this but maybe @olexs can make a statement to this?

Hallo Gemeinde,

ich probiere es mal in Deutsch.

Wenn ich das Module hinzufüge, sehe ich nur noch ein schwarzen Bildschirm. Kann mir jmd helfen?

Vielen Dank.

@Dicous
Did you install (git clone) the module into the right folder ~/MagicMirror/modules/ ? Did you also run npm install in the new subfolder ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PublicTransportBerlin ?

[Dicous]

yes. i did:
