The second line will bring the display back up and restart the display manager at 7 am. The first line will power off HDMI at 11 pm. Note that this won’t turn the Raspberry Pi power’s on and off it will just turn off HDMI, which will turn the screen off. Run crontab -e and insert the following two lines.Ġ 7 * * * /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p & sudo systemctl restart display-manager For example, say you want it to turn on automatically at 7 am and turn off at 11 pm. You can schedule your picture frame to turn on and off at specific times by using two simple cronjobs. Reboot your Pi, and you are ready to start configuring the PictureFrame2020.py file. Now, Change the file permissions to make it readable by all by typing Sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/rviceĮxecStart=xinit /usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/pi3d_demos/PictureFrame2020.py -s off -dpms -s noblank Sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/rviceĪs the last step, you need to tell the system that you have added this file and want to enable this service so that it starts at boot. Now, change the file permissions to make it readable by all by typing Sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/rviceĪnd paste the following text into the file:ĮxecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/pi3d_demos/PictureFrame2020.py There is again a slight variation for the Raspberry models. We will use the systemd services to manage the Pi3D script at boot. Next, we want to make sure that your photos start automatically when you turn on your Raspberry Pi.

NOT NECESSARY IN NEW VERSION In the raspi-config module, go to 7 Advanced Options > A8 GL Driver > Choose G2 GL Fake KMS.Ĭd /home/pi/pi3d_demos & sudo xinit /usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/pi3d_demos/Earth.py :0 -s off -dpms -s noblankĪutostarting the Pi3D image viewer at boot

Sudo raspi-config nonint do_boot_behaviour B2 & sudo raspi-config nonint do_memory_split 256 & sudo raspi-config If you see a rotating globe, your installation has been successful. You can test the program by entering (make sure you now have a monitor connected to your Raspberry Pi):Ĭd /home/pi/pi3d_demos & python3 Earth.py

Sudo pip3 install pi3d & wget & unzip master.zip & rm master.zip & mv pi3d_demos-master pi3d_demos In the raspi-config module, go to 7 Advanced Options > A8 GL Driver > Choose G1 (Legacy) Sudo raspi-config nonint do_boot_behaviour B4 & sudo raspi-config nonint do_memory_split 128 & sudo raspi-config NOTE: I have included the versions for Raspberry pi 2, 3, and 4 as they are different, and one command may not work for the other!

Installing the PI3D image viewer software Mkdir /home/pi/goes Get the Python scripts and install them Sudo raspi-config nonint do_overscan 1 Create Folders for Script and images If the display on your screen is not completely filled but instead shows a black border, you will need to disable Overscan. Hit CTRL + O to write the file to disk and then CTRL + X to exit the editor. Sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostartĪfter the editor opens, change the content to -profile -desktop -profile s s noblank So let’s disable the automatic screen saver.

Since this is a picture frame with no mouse or keyboard, all commands will be entered via SSH even though we are using the full graphical version of Raspberry Pi OS Connect to the Raspberry Pi using (for example) ssh.īy default, the screen will go blank when there is no keyboard or mouse movement detected. Change the hostname (e.g., to picframe) in Network Options and enable SSH to work remotely on the Raspberry Pi in Interfacing Options. My first action after a new Raspbian installation is usually running sudo raspi-config. Plug the Micro SD card into the Raspberry Pi, boot it up, and configure your WiFi. Setup the wpa-config and also configure the PI for SSH access. You will need the GUI desktop version of the Raspberry PI OS.

Heres is a zip file containing the python scripts for downloading imagery.ĭown load that file and save it, we’ll be using it later.ĭownload and flash Raspbian to the Micro SD card by following these directions.
