@sdetweil No worries. I really appreciate both of you alls help. Ill spend as much time I need on my end to get it up and going!
@mumblebaj thanks for adding your .02 cents to help this move forward.
Im new to this MM forum so I am not sure how to go about this but I would love to either get you both a cup of coffee or just donate to your efforts as a thank you!
@mumblebaj @sdetweil fwiw, and I don’t know if this would be any easier for the situation.
There is a site called avwx.rest
(I believe the pilot wx all was using that source)
It’s an API built solely for pilot data
You do need a key but maybe the data will be easier to pull?
@sdetweil I tried that after I cloned the git into the modules folder.
I ended up getting this error.
I also don’t remember if I used your script for this instance of mm or if I installed manually if that makes any difference
@sdetweil Thanks again for the help.
I think I have all the variables updated. Im c urrently working on trying to get the dependencies to install on my pi so I can test.
You were a big help and I see where I went wrong in a lot of places when I was trying to build from scratch. It was a lot of simple mistakes lol
@sdetweil I know the airport delay item is last on the wish list.
I can take over and update variables and such. wherever you left off ill be happy to take over!
@sdetweil I appreciate you looking into this. ill take some time and see wat I can do!
@sdetweil that is what I believe it it, also what the AI helped me deduce.
I attempted to solve that but was unsuccessful. I believe that was the problem with all 3 modules I mentioned.
I tried using npm install request. that didnt work.
Then I attempted to update the code to use axios
From what I have been able to tell I have 2 options however, I think https://aviationweather.gov/data/api/#/Data/dataMetars is going to be the better source (the other one is avwx.rest which needs users to sign up and create a token to use). I can send you a token for avwx if you need.
FWIW I can also share the repository for the Module I was working on
I am in the process of becoming a pilot and I would love to have the information these modules offer at a glance instead of having to look it up every time.
I tried, with the help of AI to update the code as I believe they were using the request fuction which is deprecated. I even tried to create a module from scratch which right now is a failure lol.
I am not the best at coding but if I can get a mentor I will definitely help keep the module up and running
