Usage

const createStream = require('wifi-on-ice-position-stream')

const positions = createStream()
positions.once('data', (position) => {
	console.log(position)

createStream() returns a readable stream in object mode.

Each position/chunk is in the format of wifi-on-ice-portal-client with an additional clientTime field:

}

You may pass these options to createStream(opt):

• interval – How often to fetch the current position from the on-board WiFi, in milliseconds. Default: 5000
• endOnTrainChange – End the stream as soon as the Triebzugnummer reported by the on-board WiFi changes, e.g. when your client accidentally connects to the WiFi of a different train. Default: true
