@TamP I’m having the same issue on two different RPi’s after the latest MM update.

@koxm Is this the api you’re using?

@koxm I’ve just installed it and have noticed the table cells are awfully close together, i.e. there is no separation at all between the last two columns, so it appears as 02 Mar 2020 Falcon 9. This is with the module bottom_center. I tried adding a padding to the left and right side of the cells in my custom.css and also added a width to the table in custom.css, but neither seemed to help.

@koxm That looks awesome! It looks like you have launch date as the second last column—can that show upcoming launches in ascending order (so soonest to latest?) Can you add in the launch window time?

I agree with @retroflex that the option to show each column would be nice. Otherwise well done!

@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.
