Here’s another module I created. It displays the song you are currently listening to on Spotify. It doesn’t matter whether you play the song on your desktop or on your smart phone. Also you don’t need any third party app to connect to Spotify. All you need is included in the module.
You can find it on GitHub. A detailed description how to get it working is included.
Feel free to tell me what you think.
@E3V3A console.log() is a standard Javascript function it works anywhere. Log.info() and so on are functions from the MagicMirror’s module system. So they will only work in the module file.
node_helper.js is executed in the server context. Any console output is therefore on the server’s log.
The module file is executed in the client context (the browser). So console output from the module file is logged in the browser console.
Here’s another module I programmed. It is probably one of the best modules ever for the MagicMirror because it does absolutely nothing useful. It just displays and simulates a game board for the Game of Life.
Conway’s Game of Life is a very interesting thing in information since. Every true nerd should simulate the game on their MagicMirror.
@E3V3A I don’t know whether that helps but you need to write this.file("node_modules/jquery-ui-dist/jquery-ui.min.js") in your getStyles and getScripts functions.
I just finished my latest module. It can be used to display departures from a station near you.
The module uses data from the HAFAS system which is fed by nearly all transportation providers in Germany. Most providers even provide real time information on the departures. As far as I know and read this system is used also in many other European countries especially Switzerland and Austria. So give it a try if you located there.
It is possible to use this module to display local transport departures like tram or bus or regional and national transport departures.

@E3V3A Actually the API doesn’t return json. It returns an array of Javascript objects. You can very easy iterate over the array and access any properties of the objects in the array with dot syntax.
const radar = require("flightradar24-client/lib/radar");
radar(53, 13, 52, 14)
.then((flights) => {
flights.forEach((flight) => {
console.log("id: " + flight.id + ", origin: " + flight.origin);
})
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error(err);
process.exit(1);
});
@leejaeuk Have look at my GameOfLife Module. It uses p5.js.
@djsunrise19 Geht mir ähnlich. ;)
Mein Modul unterscheidet sich zu MMM-PublicTransportDB auch nur insofern, dass es von mir ist ;) und dass ich erläutere, wie man zu seiner stationID kommt.
Dass du mein Modul nicht kanntest, mag daran liegen, dass ich es erst vor ein paar Tagen fertiggestellt habe.
@E3V3A I have had a look at your code. I’ve opened a pull request. Have look!
@marcnlx Awesome idea! Maybe you can add a screenshot.
