Start Chromium in Kiosk Mode on Raspberry Pi OS
In this guide, Kevin Lewis demonstrates how to automate the startup process of a web application running on Raspberry Pi OS using Kiosk Mode. By editing the autostart file and adding specific commands, he ensures that Chromium opens in fullscreen mode at a specified URL upon device launch. This eliminates the need for manual touchscreen interactions and effectively locks the user into the browser. The guide is aimed at helping developers build web-based Raspberry Pi projects more efficiently.
