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

I added a marquee effect for direction descriptions which would be too long for the table width. Unfortunately it renders quite slow on the Pi. The transition of the text is not very fluid, but I think it’s ok if you need the long directions.

Here is a video of the marquee effect rendered by my computer connected to the mirror via wifi.

Thanks @Beh ! Great module!
Is there a chance to increase the radius of stations?
In my case, I can either check the bus or the underground since they have different IDs.
I would be perfect if I could get all possible departures from within 10 minutes walk.
Is there a chance to add multiple IDs?

cheers

Thank you @done :)

currently, you can’t look for multiple IDs, but:

Usually, the module gets data for all transportation systems and stations around a main station. For example, if you enter Alexanderplatz, it shows data for the s-bahn, underground, bus and tram stations as well, even if the station IDs for the real tram and bus stations are different than the ID for Alexanderplatz.

And I think, I don’t get your question right… Can you give me an example? Which stations would you like to have in the radius?

(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. :)

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.
