It looks like an extremely easy project to complete!

Fortunately for you, TriMet/Portland Streetcar are a transit agency supported by their API 😸

Which transit agencies are supported? | Transit Tracker
Transit Tracker can support pretty much any transit agency with a GTFS feed, but it must be added to the API server you are using first. (This is the service which takes information from a transit age...

Something to keep in mind... The build guide recommends 5v 2A for power. However, the panels recommend 5v 4A per panel.

If you follow the guide, you can run the transit board, but may be limited in display function if you ever repurposed the displays.

I'd go for 5v 4A USB C power if you can!

The panels are in stock on Adafruit and should be received within 2 weeks.

The microcontroller for the panels is out of stock on Adafruit but it's in stock at Mouser Electronics. Just gotta pay a separate shipping fee :(

I knew I should've reached out to a few more people about bulk buying parts haha

The full build guide and parts list is available here: transit-tracker.eastsideurbanism.org/docs/build-g...

The total build cost is ~$150 and you'll want to hit up a friend with a 3D printer for the enclosure!

The phrasing almost gives off ominous vibes...

Make sure you listen for those bells or Santa might run over you with his Traindeer 🥴

I'm not sure what you mean by ICS, unless you mean "Internet Connection Sharing" in Windows.

I have a reasonably standard network setup. I have a pfsense router connected to a Unifi switch with 3 APs controlled by a SDN controller. All devices connect to the Unifi APs with network specific SSIDs.

I'll give credit that the Unifi devices were only broadcasting on non-overlapping channels. The device broadcasting on 10 was a (reasonably nice) LTE Hotspot from Netgear.

I don't need 2.4Ghz on the hotspot so I disabled it and now run it only on 5Ghz, but DAMN. That's SILLY.
October 28, 2025 at 10:22 PM
I noticed one of my own devices was broadcasting 2.4Ghz and its channel was set to automatic. It was broadcasting on channel 10.

WHAT THE FUCK??

Why would it automatically use an overlapping channel? Maybe that's a good thing in some situations... But that's TERRIBLE automatic behavior 😭
