London tube map made from a working circuit board

I wonder where he is getting the data from. I'd love to have live data from the Barcelona subway network. It happens a lot that I arrive at a station and a train is just leaving. During peak hours they go every couple of minutes but later at night it could be 10 minutes.

Transport for London have a fairly comprehensive API that has all kinds of live journey and network information: https://api.tfl.gov.uk/ - the article mentions that this project is using the API

Edit: Looks like TMB also have an API. I'm not sure how it compares to TfL's: https://developer.tmb.cat/

Thanks! Yes TMB has an API, I looked at it before but it only provided scheduled service times, not live data like you can see on the boards in the station. But I'll have another look!
