Using a Raspberry Pi for displaying information on a wall mounted screen
Inspired by http://blogs.wcode.org/2013/09/howto-boot-your-raspberry-pi-into-a-fullscreen-browser-kiosk/
Installation
Download raspbian from https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite_latest and install on an SD card. Installation instructions can be found on https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md
Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi, make sure it is connected to a network, boot it and log into it:
ssh pi@raspberrypi
The default password is "raspberry" (without the quotes).
We need git to continue, so we install it:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git
Clone this repository:
git clone [email protected]:jorgenwahlberg/walldisplay.git
Enter the cloned repository:
cd walldisplay
Run the setup script as root:
sudo ./setup.sh
Reboot the device once more. It will now start a chromium browser with a URL fetched by the .xinitrc script.
