@sonicgoose Yeah, I thought this would happen at some point. Need to think about how I can implement this.

Can I ask you a favour? Could you create issues on GitHub for the long list and the feature feature? Would be easier for me to track the different things. Thanks in advance

Done!

Glad you get excited about it! Although, the module might not work as good as expected for you, given the volume of planes you track. You see, my module handles huge volume by… not handling it There is currently no limit in place in the number of planes returned by the socket or displayed on the mirror.

This is mainly due to my lack of good antenna (hence not a lot of planes to display) But I would be curious to hear how you think this should be done, especially how the filtering and ordering should be performed?

Let me know what you think @sonicgoose

I’m currently tracking 130 aircraft from 3 to 218 nautical miles away, so I’m getting a looooong list—but I’m happy to have it working! My preference would be to have the aircraft sorted by distance (nearest first) from latLng and then have an option to restrict the number of aircraft displayed (5, 10, 15…?)

And feature request: display aircraft speed in metric, imperial or knots, since that’s the aviation standard.

This is a great module! I’m really excited I got it working

Hi @sonicgoose.

It’s already available since v1.1.0. Check out the “setup” section of the README.md, it explains how to set it up.

Wow. How did I miss that?! I’ve been following this module’s progress but clearly not close enough. Now I want to go home and try it! (Stupid work prevents me, though.) Thanks!

Any chance this can have the option of reading a dump1090 feed over a local network? I have three RPi’s feeding FlightAware, FlightRadar24, PlaneFinder, RadarBox24 and OpenSky Explorer plus an instance of Virtual Radar Server on a PC I have, which in turn is feeding BaseStation on the same PC. I have another RPi running a custom python script to capture the closest aircraft and display its details on a 7" screen. But I’d love to be able to do this with my two MagicMirrors, neither of which is in a position where an antenna can be connected.

I just started having the same issue. I’m using the MMM-MyCalendar module twice and one of them suddenly stopped working after I deleted some events. Both calendars are being pulled from an O365 ics url and I can’t comprehend how deleting some events would cause this to stop working.

@sdetweil After doing more reading, I found the modified .js file on GitHub. Replace original ~/MagicMirror/modules/calendar_monthly/calendar_monthly.js with this one (not mine) and edit ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js to load the module as follows:

{
     disabled: false,
     module: 'calendar_monthly',
     position: "top_left",
     config: {
            showHeader: true,
            // cssStyle: "",
            monthOffset: 0,
     }
},

That will show the current month. If you want the previous month, then add the module again before the current month and change monthOffset to -1. For the next month, add the module again after the current month and change monthOffset to 1.

If you want current month plus the next two months, then add the module three times with monthOffset set to 0, 1, and 2.

@Thgj0842 I did this just yesterday with a new install of Raspbian and MagicMirror. I put

display_rotate=3

at the very end of /boot/config.txt after rotating my monitor 90º counter-clockwise. You may need to try

display_rotate=1

if you’ve rotated 90º clockwise.

That’s all I had to do.

@sdetweil As the actual README.md doesn’t list a configuration option to change in config.js, I was hoping for more specific direction on how to do this. The css has styles for previous and next month, but nowhere can I find where I would activate that option.

@MadsChaves How did you tweek the calendar_monthly module? I’ve been racking my brain looking at the js and I’m too much of a newbie to even know where to start!
