| + | ====== Creating an Information Radiator on Raspberry Pi ====== | ||
| + | ===== How To ===== | ||
| + | * Flash the Raspbian with Desktop Image (It needs a UI) - https:// | ||
| + | * Ensure you setup correctly - change password etc | ||
| + | * Now change the Boot Options through raspi-config and make it so that it auto logins in to the UI | ||
| + | * Ensure ssh is enabled | ||
| + | * Don't forget to add the scotty user : [[toolsandtechnologies: | ||
| + | * Once you can ssh to the pi | ||
| + | * sudo nano / | ||
| + | * Add the following lines to the top of the file : | ||
| + | * < | ||
| + | sdtv_mode=2 | ||
| + | # Force the monitor to HDMI mode so that sound will be sent over HDMI cable | ||
| + | hdmi_drive=2 | ||
| + | # Set monitor mode to DMT | ||
| + | hdmi_group=2</ | ||
| + | * If you wish to set a static IP on the PI follow this guide : [[toolsandtechnologies: | ||
| + | * Now you will want to be the PI user as the is the autologin user so ssh to the pi as the pi user 'ssh pi@X.X.X.X' | ||
| + | * You need to install chromium browser (it may come pre installed) | ||
| + | * sudo apt-get update | ||
| + | * sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | ||
| + | * Next we need to create a file which runs every time the PI reboots | ||
| + | * cd / | ||
| + | * If none of these directories exists, create them : 'mkdir -p / | ||
| + | * Create the autostart file and fill with the contents we desire | ||
| + | * nano / | ||
| + | * Put the following in - edit based on what you want to auto boot : | ||
| + | * < | ||
| + | Type=Application | ||
| + | Exec=/ | ||
| + | Hidden=false | ||
| + | X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true | ||
| + | Name[en_US]=AutoChromium | ||
| + | Name=AutoChromium | ||
| + | Comment=Start Chromium when GNOME starts</ | ||
| + | * save and exit | ||
| + | * Reboot the pi and it should load chromium by default - you may need to log in to whatever website you are going to | ||
| + | * Now you want to make the mouse disappear and only appear if you move it | ||
| + | * sudo apt-get install unclutter | ||
| + | * sudo nano / | ||
| + | * Add : | ||
| + | * < | ||
| + | * You will also want the PI screen to stay on even with no movement | ||
| + | * sudo nano / | ||
| + | * Add the following lines to the [SeatDefaults] section | ||
| + | * < | ||
| + | xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms</ | ||
| + | * save and exit | ||
| + | * reboot the pi and everything should work - hopefully | ||
