Raspberry Pi rev B, 3,2" LCD-screen with 3 buttons. Boots to kweb-browser that opens web-site which monitors ESP8266 sensor nodes.
Raspberry Pi does:
- Host a web server with page that collects and displays data of the ESP8266 nodes.
- Shows that data on the web browser kiosk mode on the small LCD-display
- Runs root system on USB-pendrive (robust! compared to SD card), boot only is on SD-card.
- In short: hosts data of the nodes and displays it. Of course the same web page can be viewed in a web browser in the same LAN (unless port is opened to the World).
To work with stylus and 3 buttons in LCD-module should be enough. Plans are to hack more sensor like DS18B20 or DHT22 to Raspberry Pi itself. That may require long male header pins because LCD-module doesn't break any GPIO-pins out. So long header pins become available from the bottom side of the Rpi-board.
Now I have the LCD-screen with Raspbian up and running. Next plan is to add Matchbox-keyboard that is an on-screen keyboard software. Program that with a python-script to open in front when one of the three buttons is pressed. Also to make Raspberry Pi to boot into KWeb with "Home automation web page" (not done yet).
Situation at the moment:
What else has been set already:
Modified Raspbian distro flashed into USB-stick (no problems with corruption of the SD-card)
USB-Wifi dongle with configuration so it can be connected to internet wirelessly.
I see only one. Why it may be seen twice is that I accidentally logged in with other email that I don't want to use. I think I already tossed that account details. I will remain in this one. So it's on other account and can't be seen here I think?
