Pi Zero

I can confirm. It is working with pi 1 in server only mode and kweb. Just some modules don’t show like mmm-sonos. If you connect with anotrr machine with chrome it works normally so it is a browser problem :( and I couldn’t find a solution for that till now
-
@darkeagl105 I found out with kweb you must enable cookies and Java Script for anything to work. So far I’ve only tested with the default modules, if I find out more about the non-default modules I’ll post here. Kweb is nice and light, I tried firefox but the Pi0 struggles to run it.
-
@nigel-daniels I know tried it with all kind of browser and stick with kweb. Will try this weekend with my settings and a pi0 to confirm it as well. I was using a Pi1 B+
-
Has anyone encountered the following issue with kweb. I got everything up and running on the Pi0 and used the platform to develop a new module MMM-FAA-Delay. I then stopped VNC from auto starting, set the boot to console with pi logged in, reinstated the autostart MM2 and kweb script. However this time I also set the screen rotation in config.txt. Everything works fine but it looks like kweb is still using the previous screen ratio even though it’s rotated. i.e. it only fills the top third or so of the screen and the left hand side is ‘off screen’.
Any thoughts?
-
@nigel-daniels Follow up I just did a full reinstall, Kweb now seems to get the screen width of the rotated screen but still only uses the upper third portion of the screen :( Any thoughts on how I tell it the screen height.
-
@nigel-daniels Ok deeper digging into the kweb code has revealed that the ratio options are hard coded :( I’ve put a request to the Kweb authors for this to be an option. As a short term hack you can install kweb as per @Neokamikaze suggested, then:
git clone https://github.com/ekapujiw2002/kweb
sudo apt-get install webkitgtk-3.0Then open up kweb.c and change one of the parameter settings to be the ratio you need, for example I set 8 to be 1080x1920. Then make the kweb code and replace /usr/bin/kweb with your custom binary. Now alter the start.sh to use the number you chose for your custom ratio.

@Neokamikaze hi, what did you do to stop the screen from blanking? Having got the kweb and MM running perfectly I set this up to run without screen blanking an got the mirror in position… but it still blanks after about 10 mins+. The steps I took were:
Turn off the monitors energy saving mode.
I then edited
~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostartand/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostartcommented out the screensaver line and added:@xset s off
@xset -dpms
@xset s noblankFinally in
/etc/kbd/configI set the following to:BLANK_TIME=0
BLANK_DPMS=off
POWERDOWN_TIME=0What am I missing here?
-
Hi @nigel-daniels, i don’t touch kweb configuration. I just add on “~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart” file this:
@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi @pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi @xscreensaver -no-splashand in “/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart” this:
@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi @pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi @xscreensaver -no-splash @xset s noblank @xset s off @xset -dpmsAfter for configure my display i change the configuration in “/boot/config.txt”.

@Neokamikaze HI thanks for the suggestion, I’ve ensured both my versions of these files match yours, but somewhere DPMS is being enabled… 10 mins in the screen blanks. I can see in the file
/var/log/Xorg.0.logthe following lines:[ 81.864] (II) FBTURBO(0): enabled fbdev copyarea acceleration
[ 81.865] (==) FBTURBO(0): Backing store enabled
[ 81.875] (==) FBTURBO(0): DPMS enabled
[ 81.875] (II) FBTURBO(0): failed to enable hardware cursorSomething somewhere is setting DPMS up and for some reason the
xset -dpmscommand is being skipped. I’ll try adding the set command to the start.sh and see if that forces the issue. -
Hi @nigel-daniels, if you use jessie i think there is a problem with DPMS. There is a GUI package for configure this. If you want test install “xscreensaver” package
