# NOTE
This repo is being abandoned / retired in favor of my newer solution [located here](https://github.com/graboskyc/CarniDigiSign_IOT). This will continue to work, but I will not be improving it.
# SCBCarnivalPPSigns Background
From [Microsoft Win10 IOT Digital Signage example](https://github.com/ms-iot/samples/tree/develop/DigitalSign), implementation for concession at carnival
This requires the current build of [Windows 10 IOT](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/getstarted) as of May 2017 which is 15063.
It has been tested on a Raspberry Pi 3 (ARM SOC) and an Intel Compute Stick (Intel Atom SOC). Performance seems better on the Intel SOC.
This has two folders, first is IOT which is the Windows 10 IOT solution. The SERVER folder is a website example that the IOT code will load.
# Customization
When customizing, edit the `Assets/config.xml` and you can place in what assets and their duration. For example to run an arbitray image, place the image in the Assets folder and the XML would look like:
``
To load a webpage, it would look like:
``
And the duration is how long to display in seconds.
# Deploying
You can load the solution in Visual Studio and deploy to Remote machine (the IOT device).
Additionally, you can right click on the solution and go to Store, Create App Pakages to build the APPX package. A sample is in the release.
The APPX package can be deployed via the webpage (http://IOTHOST:8080) and upload the APPXBundle package and Dependencies.
After deployed, you need to set the app to be default for startup.
# Use
Once deployed and set as the default app, whenever power is applied to the IOT device, the sign will run.
Performance wise, especially for websites, I have noticed that it takes a few rotations for the system to "warm up" and cache assets. After this, the performance gets better.
The way the app works is the slide show will automatically start. You can also start immediately by pressing the big button.
The settings menu also triggers the option to hide any asset containing `_specials` which can be useful if a special runs out mid-night. It can also disable all web page assets if there is no internet connection.
