MRBS Kiosk

Structured for UBC MRBS pages.

The current url templating function is made to build a series of tabs that the kiosk can cycle through for displaying bookings.

Dependencies

• Raspberry pi 3B+ or newer
• A screen, power, and an internet connection (!)
• Ubuntu MATE 18.04
• Chromium web browser
• xdotool and unclutter

Services

The core service generates well formatted URLs to provide chromium, and launches the browser. A secondary service feeds tab switching commands to the display, which proved inconsistent from the python-based service.

Todo

• Get the screen turning off and on over the course of the day
• Have a reliable daily service reset to get the current day
