Kiosk

Wiki

This article describes usage and programming of the electronic events monitor display in the main lobby.

Note: The kiosk source code example is here. https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-kiosk/

Restart:
If the monitor ever looks wrong, simply unplug the Raspberry Pi and plug it back in.

Programming:
Be familiar with linux, .sh executable files, services using systemctl, Python, crontab, html, javascript, css.

Note: Backup files before updating. There is no versioning.

You will need to plug in a monitor, mouse and keyboard to the Raspberry Pi to program it.

User: pi
Password: pie

Programming:

  1. There is a service program running.

$ sudo systemctl status kiosk.service

-or-

$ cd /etc/systemd/system/
$ ls -l
$ cat kiosk.service

The service program starts an executable file.

$ cd /home/pi/kiosk/
$ ls -l
$ cat kiosk.sh

A python program runs nightly to update the events schedule using crontab.

You should be able to easily find the code. If not you shouldn’t be messing with it.
