We want a 'kiosk' style Raspberry Pi powered screen at the field to show local ATOM information, and we want to display multiple 'tiles' in the same web page, and we want this to be as 'hands off' as possible. This may be of interest to some of you.
We have a standard raspberry Pi with an attached screen and created 2 files under the 'pi' account
1. /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi
pi@kiosk:~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi $ cat autostart
@xset s 0 0
@xset s noblank
@xset s noexpose
@xset dpms 0 0 0
@chromium-browser --start-fullscreen --app=file:///home/pi/atom.html
2. /home/pi
pi@kiosk:~ $ cat atom.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<frameset rows = "70%,30%">
<frameset cols="100%">
<frame name = "radar" src = "
http://192.168.1.126:9000/VirtualRadar/desktop.html" />
</frameset>
<frameset cols="100%">
<frame name = "metar" src = "
http://192.168.1.126/metar.cgi" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
</html>
Now as we power up the pi attached to the screen, we see the local VRS data, and also the METARs in a separate tile below.
This is of course using our local ATOM station address, and suspect that the correct solution is to use
https://data.pilotaware.com as our datasource, but have not yet worked out how to automate the passing of our credentials.
A poor photo of the result, but you get the idea.
