subway.py not working tkinter import * #6

Im getting an error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter". I have no idea how to address this.

I will state that i am doing this in an Ubuntu VM because my new PI and Display dont arrive until next week but i wanted to get everything working first so that this would be an easy build to give to my girlfriend as a gift.

When i run ./mta.py with my station information i get good results so that script is working fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, -mp

Hummm. Try googling "installing Ubuntu tkinter"

ok, i got that working and after making a few other tweaks to ubuntu and learning how to use the X11 options correctly in putty i now have this working perfectly for our L station.

Now that I have this working it seems like this is barely touching the capabilities of the pi 4 and I was wondering is there any reason why this couldnt be run on a pi zero. Other than that, this is exactly what i wanted to make for her. The only thing that i may need to tweak a bit at this point is the display settings because i went with a different display than you but i wont know that until i try it.

I've only tried it on a Pi 3+, which is probably way overkill for this from a processing perspective. I don't see any reason why it would not work on a Pi Zero (you would need to add WiFi, however).

Glad you got it working!
