@mykle1 If I wanted to increase the font size for the entire line (mode: rotating,) which css element would need to be edited?

This is the python code I have running on my rpi2. I haven’t tried any code on the rpi3 with MagicMirror2. I was hoping I could just pass the url to one of the 3rd party modules, but it seems not.

#!/usr/bin/python3

import json,requests
url = requests.get("http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx/VirtualRadar/AircraftList.json?lat=MYLATITUDE&lng=MYLONGITUDE&fDstU=30")
data = json.loads(url.text)
acList = (data["acList"])
sortedac = sorted(acList, key=lambda d: d["Dst"])
closestac = (sortedac[0])
print 'Content-type: text/html'
print
print '<html>'

print '<title>VRS Proximity</title>'
print '</head>'
print '<body>'
try:
        Reg = closestac['Reg']
except KeyError:
        Reg = ""
        pass
try:
        Call = (closestac['Call'] + " -- ")
except KeyError:
        Call = ""
        pass
try:
        Dst = closestac['Dst']
except KeyError:
        Dst = ""
        pass
try:
        OpIcao = closestac['OpIcao']
except KeyError:
        OpIcao = ""
        pass
try:
        Op = closestac['Op']

I appreciate the reply and any help you can provide!

I’ve tried all the json modules on my rpi3 that I can find (MMM-json-feed, MMM-jsontable, MMM-Tabulator) to get a return from my Windows install of Virtual Radar Server (VRS). I have an rpi2 running a python script that sorts the data from VRS and displays data about the aircraft closest to me, but I didn’t write the script; a friend wrote it for me and I’ve simply modified it over time.

Anyway, I now would like to do the same within MagicMirror2. The url for the json query is http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx/VirtualRadar/AircraftList.json?lat=&lng=&fDstU= where:

is decimal degrees, like 41.54321
is decimal degrees, like -81.12345
is a distance in kilometers

The resulting json is formatted like this:

{"src":1,"feeds":[{"id":1,"name":"ModeSDeco2South","polarPlot":true},{"id":2,"name":"ModeSDeco2West","polarPlot":true},{"id":3,"name":"PiAwareMlatSouth","polarPlot":true},{"id":4,"name":"PiAwareMlatWest","polarPlot":true},{"id":5,"name":"Merged Feed","polarPlot":false}],"srcFeed":1,"showSil":true,"showFlg":true,"showPic":true,"flgH":20,"flgW":85,"acList":[{"Id":12597448,"Rcvr":1,"HasSig":true,"Sig":5,"Icao":"C038C8","Bad":false,"Reg":"C-FVNB","FSeen":"\/Date(1549465130117)\/","TSecs":14,"CMsgs":325,"Alt":1425,"GAlt":1531,"InHg":30.0262051,"AltT":0,"TAlt":4992,"Call":"ACA737","Lat":43.680405,"Long":-79.595947,"PosTime":1549465144594,"Mlat":false,"Tisb":false,"Spd":150.7,"Trak":42.6,"TrkH":false,"TTrk":56.953125,"Type":"B789","Mdl":"787 9","Man":"Boeing","CNum":"38359","From":"YYZ Lester B.

I’d like the closest aircraft from “acList” to be displayed but as I said off the top I can’t get any of the existing json modules to do that. Any clues as to why?

Cheers,

I’m loving this module. I found, however, that I was getting multiple results for some airports where the METAR had changed more than once in the last hour. That was easily fixed by editing the .js to add ‘&mostRecentForEachStation=true’ to the end of the url. And because I’m not a pilot, I couldn’t remember what the red, blue, green, etc colours meant, so I hardcoded those in as well. Much more useful to me now!
