Pi Zero as MagicMirror Client
-
Hey,
I found an old Pi Zero (not the Pi Zero 2) and wanted to use it as a client for a MagicMirror. The server is running fine. I can access the MM from another computer.
Now, I started the the Pi Zero (bullseye with desktop) and called the MM page in chromium. However, it is too slow: the page is not completely loaded, the clock is not running smoothly.Does anyone know of a better solution (browser options, another browser, less resource usage, …) on a Pi Zero?
Thanks,
Jan -
@Jan-0 increase the swap space

@sdetweil Thanks for the hint. That improved the situation a lot but it is still not sufficient. I have different pages rotating every 10 seconds and I guess that’s too resource consuming. The CPU is 100 % used now.
Perhaps, I need to wait until the PI Zero 2 is available again (at a reasonable price). -
@Jan-0 yes redraw lots of pages is pretty taxing…
you could try one of the other browsers.
firefox, midori, puffinhttps://www.google.com/search?q=best+web+browsers+for+raspberry+pi

Try using FullPageOS
https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOSIt works fine on a pi zero.
