Astrobox Gateway With Touchscreen Chromium Kiosk

AstroBox
#1

I searched all over the place for any kind of details or instructions on how to get astrobox gateway working with a touchscreen. If anyone else is interested, follow the instructions in this link https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-kiosk/ and replace this in the kiosk script
/usr/bin/chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars --kiosk htps://pimylifeup.com htps://www.adafruit.com &

With this
/usr/bin/chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars --kiosk http://127.0.0.1 &

Seems to work fine except an error message that pops up right before the kiosk loads. It doesnt appear to affect anything that i can tell. If anyone knows of a better way of doing this i would appreciate any input or instruction.

Or just get an ABT SW license which was designed to do exactly this :wink:

Yes I saw that right away, But The 7 inch screen I had isn’t on the list of compatible touch screens. I believe this method will work on any screen you can get to work with your rpi. Just needs someone with more knowledge to tweak it though. Screen starts flashing like it’s going between 2 tabs. I thought I removed that part of the script but I guess I missed something.
