A few questions can you post a screenshot of yours running Belchertown ? how do you hack it to keep Belchertown onscreen without locking the screen ? anything else we need to know before jumping on the 7" one for that low price ?

Looks great. Have links for the bill of materials ? What did you do to the kindle os to get the kiosk mode browser ?

I’m not using a browser to display. I’m using the BtstWx android app (written by a member of the WF community). I followed instructions posted elsewhere in the WF forums on how to get the Google Play store installed. I’m using an app “Stay Alive!” to prevent the tablet from sleeping. The stand I’m …
