Not working when displaying from a Raspbery Pi / Android sticker #531

Open nikilster opened 9 years ago

nikilster commented 9 years ago

First off - sweet framework! I love it! thanks for creating this :)

We wanted to run an office dashboard so we got a Raspbery Pi to connect to a TV. Raspbery Pi was having a bunch of issues rendering the CSS for Dashing. We switched over to an android stick (which we bought just for this) and the Dashing page is completely blank when we open it on the built in browser.

Has anyone had this happen to them? We are using heroku to host the site and it works fine on our phones and desktops. It seems to just not work fully if we try to display it from the Raspberry Pi or Android Stick. Thanks for the help!

Have you tried any of these suggestions?

I'm using dashing on a pi (last gen, and current gen) and to get it to work well I had to pre-compile the assets first then serve them from /public on the pi.

@pushmatrix Thanks for the suggestions! I had looked at that page earlier - we're serving the site from heroku and are just want to load the dashboard in the browser - I think that the explanation loads it onto the raspberry pi directly.

Anyone experienced any issues loading it from a separate server?

mattrayner commented 9 years ago

We're running 4 separate dashboards off of one server with 4 different raspberry pi's displaying each dashboard with no problems.

We're running the dashing server in a VM hosted on a private cluster we have but I've ran it on a digital ocean box before with no problems?

Are you doing anything non-standard as far as the dashboard or widgets is concerned?

Any updates on this?

Dashing works fine over an unimpeded network connection.

My bet is that the browser is failing to render it. Can you see the browser console on either device?

@nikilster - What browser are you using on the Pi? @mattrayner - What browser are you using on your Pi's?

@tylermauthe I'm using Chromium on Raspbian for each pi

We are using dashing on a dozen + pi's and it's generally worked well. Each pi boots into kiosk mode and loads the assigned url. The setup we used for each pi is similar to this https://www.danpurdy.co.uk/web-development/raspberry-pi-kiosk-screen-tutorial/. Hope it helps point you in the right direction.
