Hi,

Is there a way to get this data: http://tablerock.uslakes.info/Level/ onto the MagicMirror?

This data is compiled using this data from the Army Corp of Engineers: http://www.swl-wc.usace.army.mil/pages/reports/remote/curcond.htm

I don’t see any JSON data for that data.

The uslakes.info is most likely a commercial site and I didn’t see if they had any API keys to apply for, but I like the way their data is displayed.

I AM NOT a programmer but can usually cobble stuff together, any help would be appreciated.

Specifically looking at the Table Rock Lake water level but others may be wanting other lake levels. I want to use this data to know if I need to move the dock in or out.

Thanks for any advice,
JB

As far as I know, no. It is simply a space delimited text output.

Thank you for taking a look at it. I honestly haven’t had time to devote to this at all.

Greetings from Toulouse. To do the update and upgrade, from the terminal type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

After the installation of the new updated packages, sudo shutdown. Wait. Remove the power and your edimax adapter and connect power. Now does it work?

@Iseknutz I use ssh and nano. I also am a Mac user.

I’m glad it’s working

@kylelmartin, I apologize for the delay just landed in Madrid. For starters I would take out the id lines. Keep it simple. Try this.

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
    ssid="KLM-Guest"
    psk=""
    priority=1
}

network={
    ssid="KLM"
    psk="oldasspw"
    priority=2
}

Also, mywebsite.com should be be your router ssid. If you have it set to that “mywebsite.com” in the file you gave it is most likely “KLM”.

Why would you want the guest network to have priority?

@kylelmartin can you post or pm your WPA_supplicant.conf file? Please remove your passwords and maybe change your wifi name if that makes you feel better.

How are you updating your wpa-supplicant through a terminal or by copying it onto your card? Windows or Mac?

Hello everyone,

I am not a progammer, but rather a tinker-er, hack and an airline pilot (I can program a Smith-Thales and a Honeywell box). I’ve cobbled together a headless rPi 0 W with what’s here and added the DarkSky module. However, I want to be able to look at the Table Rock Lake level. I check it on my phone and it would be fantastic to have it on a mirror. I’ve looked at trying it with Python, and javascript leaves me behind (json, node.js, etc…) I should take a class but I rarely if ever have a reason to code.

This is the URL of the data output in raw form, it’s from the US Army Corp Of Engineers:
http://www.swl-wc.usace.army.mil/pages/reports/remote/curcond.htm
link text

It’s a simple page no tables or formatting, just data.

Table Rock Lake 10MAY17 1400 929.74 .02 -.52 916.29 931.0 90.7 F.C. 13.5

All I would like displayed is the name and data for Table Rock Lake, ELEV, 1 HR and 24HR change and if it’s easy, a simple up arrow, down arrow or a dash for a quick level change information and have it checked every 10 minutes.

Thank you for any help,
JB

BLANK SCREEN, NO CLOCK/CALENDAR/MOMENTS solved and simplified from other topics and posts:

After you follow the instructions in the first post to #23 then jump to here:

24 cd ~/MagicMirror/vendor
25 npm install
26 sudo reboot

I’m not a linux expert, but I built this a few weeks back before the latest version of MM and it worked flawlessly. There should be a hook in the original package.json that kicks it into the vendor directory and runs “npm install” there but it doesn’t happen now (5/3/2017).

Also, for those of you who do not have a monitor, after you SSH into your Rpi Zero W:
sudo raspi-config
5 interfacing options
P3 VNC
YES you want to enable the VNC server
reboot when it asks.

Use VNC Viewer or whatever, connect to your rpi using either ip address or if you set it up in your DHCP table with a :0 (zero) to see your screen or :1 to have a desktop.
