Organise drivers for the arena screens #996

Closed RealOrangeOne closed 1 year ago

RealOrangeOne commented 1 year ago

We have screens around the arena to display live information, these need something to drive them.

In the past this has been Raspberry Pis displaying a web-page. If this is used again then the following things need doing:

Original

comp/arena/screens-drivers

Dependencies

My understanding is that the various screens around the venue now all have their own drivers which we can easily point at a webpage, so in theory we only need drivers for additional screens. It would be good to have spares prepared though.

I've checked that the kiosk puppet setup applies cleanly using my own Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi OS 2023-02-21 Bullseye Desktop 32-bit.

PeterJCLaw commented 1 year ago

Hrm, looks like SSH needs enabling on the Desktop image.

Under Bullseye neither firefox nor chromium support armv6l (https://github.com/RPi-Distro/chromium-browser/issues/21) so will fail to load on Pi 2 and Pi 1. On Buster firefox-esr still has this issue and chromium is extremely slow to load and fairly unresponsive so we may need to look at alternate browsers if we are going to continue using Pi 1's

PeterJCLaw commented 1 year ago

That's weird, my Pi 2 definitely worked on Bullseye.
