There's nothing special you need for a touch panel.
And setting up Kiosk mode in chromium is dirt simple.
Oh ok, thank you. I thought it was specific hardware which I think got my search focused around Star Trek display replicas.
I do see this is the same thing I read about and watched a video of but it is in English, I’m not sure why I had trouble finding something in English, anyway, I can’t wait to try getting this implemented. I really appreciate you sharing.
Right on! There's quite a bit of theme dependencies you'll need to setup first but once you get past the configuration, doing the actual layout is super easy, just time consuming.
Once I had my display panels setup, I made a kiosk user that defaults to the screen I want and then used a unit file on the raspberry pi, configured to log in on boot to the display user and chromeium is started on boot directly into kiosk mode in full screen.
I really appreciate you taking the time to provide the additional details. These kinds of bread crumbs help me a great deal in knowing where to look to continue learning from others and really helps to feed my enjoyment and continued education.
