As mentioned earlier, Darkice will be encoding the live audio source into an MP3 stream and Icecast2 will be serving it to you through a nice user interface. Upon completing the above, select and select when prompted to reboot. Connect to the Raspberry Pi with SSH or use an HDMI display if you are unfamiliar with SSH.

Update the configuration as per the following table where the settings are indicated in. bashrc file which runs each time the Pi boots.Įdit the ~/.bashrc file with the command nano ~/.bashrc to include the following as the last line: xinit /home/pi/kiosk - vt$(fgconsole)Ĭonfigure boot and display with the raspi-config toolįrom the command prompt on the Pi, enter the command sudo raspi-config which will open a text-based menu.

Initiation of the X Windows System and the kiosk script will be added to the pi user's. Make the kiosk script file executable with the command chmod 755 ~/kiosk Unclutter & # hide X mouse cursor unless mouse activatedĬhromium-browser -display=:0 -kiosk -incognito -window-position=0,0 Matchbox-window-manager -use_titlebar no & Xset s noblank # don't blank the video device Xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features. bashrc? It is difficult to get Chromium to run (as the pi user) from the rc.local file.Ĭreate a new file called kiosk in the pi user's home folder with the command nano ~/kiosk and paste in the following template, updating the URL on the last line as required (unless you like this tutorial so much that you plan to display it on a big screen!): #!/bin/sh Why auto-login? The pi user will launch X and Chromium, and therefore must be logged in.

Install the kiosk dependencies with the command sudo apt-get install matchbox-window-manager xautomation unclutterĪuto-login on boot and start kiosk mode from a script.

Install chromium-browser with the command sudo apt-get install chromium-browser.

Install x11-xserver-utils with the command sudo apt-get install -no-install-recommends x11-xserver-utils.

Install xinit with the command sudo apt-get install -no-install-recommends xinit.

Install xserver-xorg with the command sudo apt-get install -no-install-recommends xserver-xorg.

Simply run sudo raspi-configįrom the same terminal connected to the Pi via SSH: If you're still using the default password, this is as good a time as any to change it.

#Raspberry pi live weather display password#

When prompted enter the password ( berryinsecure is the default).

Open a terminal on the computer and SSH into the Pi with the command ssh replacing the x values with the Pi's IP address.

With the prepared micro SD card inserted into the Pi, complete the following: The Raspberry Pi can be attached to the display directly by screwing it to the display’s controller board. I used a 32 GB version A micro USB charger Putting it together. Prerequisitesīoth the Pi and the computer used for its configuration must be on the same network, with which they can access the Internet. Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (includes a case for the pi, that you won’t need for this project) 7 inch display with case A micro SD card with at least 8 GB. Why X11? Raspberry Pi OS Lite does not include a display system by default, so the the X Window System must be installed manually. If you forgot how, recall Step 4 from the Pi Prep tutorial.

I wrote PHP code surrounded by HTML5 cascading style sheet to port in the Open Weather Map data for the parameters that I wanted to display in a web interface of weather data for the specified location.Install the X Window System (X11), the Chromium browser and kiosk-mode dependencies.ĭo I need to SSH into the Pi? Yes. I registered as a developer with to receive a developer key for the Open Weather Map API. The project is hosted on a raspberry pi that was set up as a web server running the Apache open source web server application. Since I have an interest in “steampunk,” I envisioned this weather server as a utility that an captain would need on his airship to determine his latitude, longitude, the current temp and humidity, as well as whether the sails would be billowing. I thought that a weather sensor could be interesting so that I could check the weather conditions on a Raspberry Pi (or a mobile device) to determine if my run would be comfortable. I like to run, but I prefer to do so when the weather is about 60-80 degrees with moderate humidity. This project grew from a personal interest in following weather conditions.
