Then for my clients to update their signage text, I would write a simple client that sent commands as well as the text via SSH to the pi. The module would need to be able to load messages from a directory on the pi. My idea is to write a screensaver module, in C, that will work with a screensaver such as xscreensaver. All I need from the signage is a Title Message in the top center, and a message body underneath it, with roughly 300-400 character limit. I still may have to if this idea doesn't pan out. I've thought about installing LAMP locally on the Pi, and still using chromium. But the signage that I need to create now, has to work without internet. I have successfully completed a chromium kiosk, and it was cool. I just wanted to see what the community's thought was on using a screensaver as digital signage.Įvery tutorial I've read shows someone using chromium in kiosk mode, and while that's fine and works well for some uses, it doesn't work for what I need.

I have an idea and I'm working on it right now. Turning off the screen saver Easy way An easy way to achieve this is to install xscreensaver then configure it to disable (its also the Raspberry Pi recommended way) sudo apt-get install xscreensaver Then in the GUI go to Preferences > Screensaver > Display Modes > Select disable screen saver from the dropdown. The Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W and Zero 2 W use a mini HDMI port, so you will need a mini-HDMI-to-full-size-HDMI lead or adapter.
