SIDENOTE: I'm experimenting with other browsers besides chromium to find one that is more command line friendly so I could automated changing a URL.
Experiment 1: I’ve got a project rPi running piBeacon. I've tried following the steps (see bottom of post) to add kiosk mode to the rPi without much success.
Experiment 2: On my Kiosk rPi, I've installed piBeacon, but it too isn't working well. The plugin will see it, but that's about it. It's not recognizing tags, etc.
My best guess (from a non-programmer POV) it's a start-up thing. I think both (chromium + piBeacon) are trying to use the startx thing but they look at different startup files I think.
On my Kiosk rPi, the startup file is edited by
- Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart
This is Experiment 2, currently displaying an indigo control page, streaming audio from iTunes on indigo machine and piBeacon is running in the background, but not beaconing:
Ideally, I will be able to get a rPi 3B+ to run in kiosk mode in the foreground with airplay and piBeacon stuff running in the background. These are the build steps I followed for the Kiosk Mode and AirPlay if anyone else wants to follow along and give it a shot.
