Nice thread, I try to do something similar.
I work for a school and we have paper printed schedules outside of the rooms. For the big rooms i would like to have a kobo like deivce that refreshs every hour or so, showing the schedule from a google like calendar page.
The kobo is just a prototype for me, alternative i could also be a nook or even a raspi with some extra display.
so my goal is:
- boot/wake up by timer
- switch wifi on
- read the webpage, save it to picture (CutyCapt)
-wifi off
- show the picture of the webpage (direct frambuffer)
- sleep/shutdown
what i have done yet: nothing.
My Kobo arrived a few weeks ago when i was on holiday... my apprentice tried then to downgrade it (wrong anyway) and since then its broken. But next week i will get a second one and i will start from zero at my own.
so i should probably start with setting up a cross-compiler environment now. any suggestions for me?
Greetings
