Last update: 09 October 2020 Original 15 September 2020 VERY EARLY Stages, this page will be a mess as I stumble thru this ... The Goal is to build a little Pi that will connect to my parents TV to allow me to share (project) videos, web pages and such. Will be used during COVID-19 to keep them occupied over the winter months. More to come as this idea develops. Notes/Updates 09 Oct: Struggling to find OS fast enough to use Google Streetview in Full Screen or Kiosk mode on a Raspberry Pi 3. It appears that I MUST run Chromium browser to pull this off. Have tried Arch, Dietpi and Raspbian lite. On to Chromium OS. Also created subordinate startpage to simplify testing ... we may end up with a simple webpage providing links to all activities, 25 Sept: General concept works very well, even had an old gyration remote control working with it. RaspOS was painfully slow on the RPi3. Switching to LXDE desktop from Dietpi to see how that runs. Dietpi has been my goto for servers, really haven't played with desktop. Dietpi/Chromium kiosk is pretty slow. Friggin streetview map is upside down too! Added a startpage to facilitate adding activities/features without connecting to or messing with OccuPi system Research/Reference - https://blog.gordonturner.com/2020/06/30/raspberry-pi-full-screen-browser-2020-05-27-raspios-buster/ - Upside down google maps - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=274315 - Bigscreen Project - https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ - Chromium OS - Image to try quickly here - https://github.com/FydeOS/chromium_os-raspberry_pi/releases - Chromium remote desktop - https://remotedesktop.google.com/?pli=1 - Puffins OS - https://www.puffin.com/raspberry-pi/ - Install Software - - Switching to Rspbian via Dietpi Hardware - RPi 3 - 16g - Old Gyration MCE Remote!
