I have a Raspberry Pi 3, running Raspian OS and connected to the official 7" Raspberry Pi touchscreen. The Pi is used to display a information dashboard, built using the Dashing framework. The dashboard is displayed in Chromium and made full screen using the F11 key.
As it stands, the dashboard Pi works well. However, I would like to utilise the touchscreen more. My thoughts are to display multiple Dashing dashboards within a single instance of Chromium, each dashboard being displayed in a different tab, and use touchscreen gestures to switch between them. Something like a 3-finger swipe to switch between Chromium tabs, and hence dashboards, would be ideal.
Any thoughts on how I can do this? A quick google shows very little to do with gestures with the Raspberry Pi touchscreen.

I have been experimenting with home home automation and want to turn my raspberry pi 3 into a hub not something my devices manually connect to e.g from the gpio pins. In many unsuccessful attempts I have tried OpenHab. I would like to mount a touchscreen with a GUI so I can e.g turn the lights on from this control panel instead of via phone or other hubs available like Google Home. If anyone knows how I might do this it will be much appreciated.
It seems like home-assistant with floorplan would work for this. It takes a little bit of configuring but well worth it.
I am new with this Pi device and just got an Pi 3 Model B. I would like to make a small project with it by turning it to become a dashboard to display some data which get from the server. To do this I have a server running on my laptop which will provide the data. Then I create an html page to draw the dashboard, I draw using highcharts tool. Finally I display the result on the Pi (connected with a monitor using HDMI cabel) by just using its web browser and access to the html page and then the result will be displayed on the monitor.
But what I realise at the end is that I just use the web browser of the Raspberry Pi to display the dashboard and this was not dealing much with the programming of the Raspberry Pi. Therefore I would like to ask that is there any other ways to program with the Pi so that it can connect with the server, get the result and then display the result in a chart as a dashboard. This sound better than my solution as using the Pi as a programming tool instead of displaying tool.
Thank you so much
Hello I am trying to work out how to set kodi up on my smart TV. My main problem lies with the TV being on the wall in another room too far away from power sources. She has sky installed and that was situated in the other room and with a HDMI lead fed under to floorboards to the other room by a professional someone or other. I am unable to feed another HDMI lead along the line.
Is there a way I could connect kodi by some other means to the TV? I am not really up on these things.
At the moment I have the kodi box in another room and I have to switch the sky lead to the kodi box to use. Also this means you have to be in the other room.
Can anyone suggest a way for me to get kodi working on the tv and be able to operate it via remote control?
I use Kodi on all of my TVs through an amazon fire stick. Most smart TVs have a USB on the back of the TV that can power the fire stick while its plugged into the HDMI so you wouldn't have to worry about power. I have a Sony bravia that will control the fire stick as long as I am on the input the fire stick is plugged into so no need for an additional remote.
To start off this is the wrong place to ask. This is a Q and A platform for programming questions and coding related questions.
To give you an answer though because I'm not a dick the best way to do it would be using a NAS. You would have two Kodi boxes but one media store.
I'm not sure which device do you use.
In my case, I installed Kodi on my Raspberry Pi(RPi) and TV and RPi are connected with HDMI. My TV is Samsung SmartTV, which supports HDMI-CEC. So, RPI can get RCU Key input from TV.
(HDMI-CEC allows devices connected to your TV through HDMI ports to communicate back and forth with your TV. )
In addition, you can customize keymaps for remotes in GUI by using the community Keymap Editor add-on.

Check your TV supports HDMI-CEC, first.
I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. I also have a 3.5 inch Touch Display LCD for Raspberry Pi. I am running the Raspberry Pi with the attached Touch screen, but it only shows a white screen. It is connected via the GPIO port. I have installed Windows 10 IOT OS.
1) How can it connect to Raspberry Pi?
2) Why is it only White(Blank) Screen showing?
Usually, the 3.5 Inch LCD Display Modules require special drivers that do not come standard with the Raspbian OS. They either come packed with the Module itself (Usually for Raspbian) or are downloadable from the web. I'm not aware of any drivers for Windows 10, but with a datasheet you may be able to configure it for yourself (This may serve as a starting point for that kind of project if that's what you really want to do.)
To answer your two questions:
(1) The Display connects to the Raspberry by via the GPIO Port. You have already done this.
(2) The screen is white because this is the default state of the module when it is plugged in and not utilised.
Hope this helps!
I had the same problem! I solved it last night. Here is the answer on my post: How do you get a waveshare 3.5 inch touch LCD to work with Raspbian Jessie?. Hope this helps!
I have a RPI 2 with Windows 10 IoT Preview installed on it, and I'm trying to create a Windows Universal App that displays a live feed from the Raspberry Pi camera (specifically the Pi NoIR camera). Is this possible?
It's not possible yet. There are no Windows drivers available for the camera. This is likely to change at some point, but your only current option is to use a different OS.
Goobering is correct. Drivers for USB WebCam type devices are likely to be available in the next drop of the OS. I'm uncertain about the RPi camera.
