RPi-Wayfinding 0.9.1

RPi-Wayfinding is a PHP application for dynamic digital wayfinding using a Raspberry Pi and an HDMI monitor. Currently supports pulling information from an exchange calendar (via EWS), google calendar (via json), and Planning Center Online Resources (Using DOM). It is my implementation of Static graphical digital signage.

Alternate usage: Big monitor with daily calendar event list for everyone to see.

RPi Wayfinding is stable.

One of our existing cases retrofitted to use RPi wayfinding.
