Added walking delay- want to pull more than next three trains #12

Hello!

I've gotten everything up and running and added a 7-minute walking buffer time to ignore any train that will be arriving in less than 7 minutes. My issue is that it seems to be pulling only the next 3 trains AND THEN ignoring any that are less than 7 minutes. This means that even though I can see that more trains are coming on the WMATA website, I can't see them on my board. (For example: if there are trains coming in 2, 4, 5, and 15 minutes per the WMATA website, my screen won't show any because the code is only pulling the first three from WMATA and then ignoring them because of the walking delay).

I would like the code to pull more than three trains. I've adjusted 'num_trains' and that hasn't worked. Thoughts?

I would like to do similar, but had the same issue. Did you ever solve this?

Similarly, I didn't used to have any problem consistently getting 3 trains to show at my previous station (Navy Yard/Ballpark), but at Franconia when I pull the Blue Line to Largo, I only EVER get one train at the most...sometimes none. I'm definitely missing something, too, but haven't nailed it down.
