Use case

Raspberry Pi kiosk mode, without the scripts

Skip the autostart files, Chromium flags, screen-blanking fixes, and the 3 a.m. reboot. Flash the DisplayOps image, pair the Pi, and set a URL from your browser.

For: Developers, IT generalists, and anyone who has ever maintained a hand-rolled kiosk.

The usual pain

  • Kiosk setup is a pile of forum posts and shell snippets that break on the next OS update.
  • The browser crashes or a cert changes and nobody notices until someone walks past.
  • Updating the URL means finding a keyboard or SSH-ing in.

With DisplayOps

  • A fullscreen browser that launches on boot, recovers from crashes, and hides the cursor.
  • URL changes, refreshes, and reboots from the portal or API.
  • CPU temperature, storage, Wi-Fi signal, and browser state visible remotely.

Setup

  1. 1Flash the DisplayOps image to a microSD card.
  2. 2Plug the Pi into the screen and the network.
  3. 3Enter the pairing code shown on screen in the portal.
  4. 4Paste the URL. The screen updates immediately.

Questions

Does it work with touch screens?

Yes, touch input is passed to the browser. Kiosk lockdown options such as disabling navigation are in the display settings.

Can I rotate the screen?

Portrait and landscape rotation is a display setting. No config files.

Connect a screen. Tell it what to display. We keep it running.

Three displays are free. No card, no sales call, no signage jargon.
