@heyheymama prompted me to get this beast setup. It isn’t complete yet, but I wanted to at least get some action out of it now that the touchscreen came in.
It is setup very similar to the way I setup the RFID Member Info Portal. I had to edit a few files to get it to rotate the display and startup the Calendar page in Kiosk mode. I still need to build a box for the RPi3, get the touchscreen working, and hide the power wire. I’m hoping that the Calendar updates might make a custom page for this to land on.
The web page that is showing is the normal https://calendar.dallasmakerspace.org/ page, in Chromium “kiosk” mode. I remoted in and clicked on each of today’s classes to show the short description and classroom.
I’m hoping that eventually there will be a custom page created for this that will have the days classes automatically expanded and perhaps a map of the space at the bottom of the screen… and have it auto refresh every 15 minutes or so. Creating that page will be up to the software guys that are working on the Calendar app.
You will not be able to login at the display. It is just for display of classes and not personal inquiry. I suggest using your phone or a workstation in the common room and there you can login and goto the above link.
@Bill its the same setup as the voting rights machine. One should be able to ssh into it to reboot or recover remotely.
From what I can tell its at 192.168.204.88 and layer 7 is responsive but usual pi login is not working so it needs to be joined to the domain and added to prlxmonitoring so infrastructure can manage the device.
