@hypervtechnics a raspberry, which I'm actually using as access point, media-and file server, running a node server with express and socket.io + a few cronjobs fetching my google calendar(s) and the weather from darksky.net.
The rendering works with vuejs, so it's just a chromium in kiosk-mode and the "design" is just something I thought would look cool.(:
Autostart happens on lxde session start and as an easy workaround i just terminate xscreensaver before, because I was too lazy to to find out if I can disable it via cli.^^ -
@daintycode Do you Plan on making this a "production" ready thing which can be shared to other users easier?
I wanted to do smth like this for a long time. I am currently working on the backend as I wanna code a complete offline self hosted home system. And this looks like a perfect and clean & simple looking display ^^ Nice work :D Except touch support but thats way later :D -
@hypervtechnics not planned tbh, but maybe I'll find the time to do so.(;
Especially the ICS-parsing for the calendar is pretty specific, so it works for me and I guess it would break easily as it is now.
I can't promise anything, but I'll comment it here, if I make it public.(: -
Rohr7357yLooks great :) like the design :)
Have a suggestion for further development.
Dismount the display frame so that you have the blank pannel. Put a mirrored piece of glas in front, so that you got a fancy futuristic mirror display :) -
Rohr7357yJust realise that you are German ... By mirrored peace of glas I ment eine verspiegelte Glasscheibe ๐
Just in case ๐ -
Sweash1207yI planing exactly the same thing but for my workplace, who employee can walk by and see who working on which project.
Would be nice to read how u did it.
Von mir aus auch auf Deutsch. ๐ค -
@Rohr that was the inital idea, a friend of mine did that actually.
But for me the whole mirror thing made no sense, so I went for a status display.
@Sweash I may publish it as it is now and provide some sample data which would come from the crons.(:
I guess you guys know the default weekend-project code mess.:D
I'm actually thinking about making it a bit controllable via a fire tv remote and turn it of when i leave the house (aka my phone isn't connected to wlan) -
@hypervtechnics @Sweash
Here you go:
https://github.com/daintycode/...
As stated, I won't push any updates and/or fixes there, it's the state of the art as it is now.:D
Have fun!๐งก -
devnope5697yLook into framebuffer image viewer or the kiosk mode wm of raspian...
Or you also could start without a wm and write your browser into the .xinitrc....should do the trick -
Me: Do you know what an IP adress is?
Her: Yeah of course i do
Me: Do you know what a mac adress is?
Her: No, i dont use Apple
Im drunk and cant stop laughing xD -
@Noob now that you're asking it.. dunno.:D
The bi-linguality with having the calendar German is a bit weird with the days being English, I guess. -
Noob64667y@daintycode Hehe, I try to do everything in English just for unity and interoperability.

Looks beautiful, I gotta do something like that when my future Pi 4 replaces my Pi 3B :)
