need some help to start, automatic picture viewer

[dkeipp]

Hello,

I have a K4 with broken "page" buttons and I want to use it to monitor some parameters.

first thing to do:
It should load a picture from a server (every one or two minutes or so) and bring it to the screen.
My Idea is to do get the picture with wget controlled by an entry in the crontab. But.. is there a command to display the picture on the screen?

second:
It should work while the power is on (USB Power supply is plugged in). Without USB power it should go to sleep after 5 minutes.
No Idea so far.. Is it possible? any hints?

i've looked a lot in this forum but I didnt find a solution.

What I have done until now:
Jailbreak and SSH access via WiFi. No problems with that

I hope someone can help

Did you try the Master Index?
That is the one with: "Where do I start?" in the title.

Did you search for the Weather Station project?
If not, do so.

There have been several projects here on using Kindles as information displays.

Thank you knc1,

I read the master index but i didn't find the right thing.

But!: "Weather station project" are the right keywords for searching

I think with this I can go on. Thank you
