Dear all,
I would like to use my old Kobo touch as permanent display for a DIY weather station. In short, I would like to display a (local) HTML page in the built-in browser, which refreshes every minute.
I already activated "Force Wifi on" in Nickel Menu and/or Developer options. However, Wifi is lost randomly. As a consequence, the webpage is "stuck" and does not refresh anymore. Manual refresh is necessary.
I have a small bash script running (installed via telnet), which frequently turns on and off the wifi
However, the webpage sometimes gets "stuck" and does not refresh anymore. I assume, this is when Wifi is by coincidence down during refresh.
My question:
- does anyone have further clues, how to improve the Wifi connectivity?
- would an alternative browser maybe be an option? Are there any instructions?
