However, it does sound like you are trying to use a Pi v1, which I’ve personally never tested the project on. I can’t guarantee it will work, but in theory it should, it’ll just be a bit slow - that device is quite old now.
Hi guys - still a novice at this but slowly working through the process
I seem to have what looks to be the common issue with the SSD1322 and needing to enable SPI - however I’m not quite sure what I’m looking at and what I need to do.
Here’s my board, if anyone could kindly take a look and inform that’ll be amazing!
Hi there…i’ve just gone through the exact same thing. According to the matrix (bottom left) 4 SPI needs zero ohm resistor (basically a jumper) on R5 and R8 … R6 and £7 should be open circuit. Looking at your photo, it’s set that way …
Looking for a bit of support if poss. Everything is set up as above but my display reads "“uk train departure display powered by national rail enquiries” for a few seconds before going blank. Then, after a while, it displays the same message. If I change the operating hours so “now” is out of the operating time it correctly displays the out of hours name and the time. I’ve double-checked my apiKey just not sure what I’ve missed.
Absolutely loving my little departure board! I’ve noticed a few bugs and wondering if it’s just me:
timeOffset remains 5 minutes regardless of the number put in (strangely it works correctly looking back with negative numbers) e.g., I want an offset of 7 minutes, but the board will still show trains departing in 5 minutes
With operatingHours left bank (i.e., continuous operation) and screenBlankHours set to 1-5 (screen off between 1am and 5am) the display is off in the mornings at around 6am and requires a restart via the dashboard
Lastly, is there anyway of switching out the API to use TFL which would be more accurate for the London tube?
The train display I made during Covid finally died. Do I have something wrong with the API requests here. It keeps asking for the departures variable to be set, but everything seems to be in order and it was running like this for 3 years.
@mpous - I updated the OS to 2.113.18 but the same error occurs. The departures variable I do not see listed on tranport API, it was never a variable that was needed when creating this project and so I do not understand why the log files ask for this variable
I’ve only recently discovered this project, and I love it - thank you.
I’m running this on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W.
One minor issue I have, is that I have changed the firstDepartureBold variable to false but after automatically restarting, the first departure still shows as bold.
