Raspberry Pi Setup
Skate Results displays only require a browser to run, so you don't need a full computer. Instead, you can use a mini-computer like the Raspberry Pi.
Hardware
The following hardware is recommended:
- Raspberry Pi 4, 1GB
- USB C power supply
- Raspberry Pi 4 Case
- HDMI Type A > Micro HDMI Type D
- Micro SD card + SD-Adapter
- HDMI Cable
- Full HD Display
Flashing the SD card
- Install Etcher
- Download FullPageOS from the download server. The latest stable version is quite outdated and might not work - please use the latest nightly build instead.
- Copy FullPageOS on the SD card using Etcher
Configuration
- Replace the url in
fullpageos.txt
tohttps://display.skateresults.app
