Running the in-venue screens

Primary LanguageShell

JSConf and CSSconf EU digital signage screens

Content in this repo will be shown on the in-venue screens of JSConf/CSSconf EU 2019.

  • Each screen and Rasperry Pi has a number.
  • See index.html for how the number maps to a particular screen.
  • The r/$number.html file is automatically loaded onto the Rasperry Pi in fullscreen on startup.
  • Edit the appropriate r/$number.html to redirect to the URL that you'd like to show on the screen.
  • If you change a redirect, restart the respective Raspi.
  • Content on a given URL updates automatically.
  • You should never need to manually control a Raspi with a mouse or keyboard.

Stage manager updates

  • When ever your track goes into a break, edit track-control.json and enter the time of the next session in your track.

Design

  • The screen resolution is 1920x1080 (aka 1080p)
  • No need to be responsive, those are the exact pixels. Not more, not less (well except possible overscan at the edges).
  • Make sure all desired content actually fits that area since content cannot be scrolled.

Updating content

  • Content auto-updates when you commit updates GitHub within about 1 minute.
  • If you changed JavaScript, update the version attribute on the <html> element, and the page will reload.
