Tips for Raspberry Pi below

Tip 1: Disable screen saver.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install unclutter
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
use the xscreensaver gui to disable the screen saver

Tip 2: Run chromium in full screen

chromium-browser --incognito --kiosk {pathToYour_index.html_file}
example: chromium-browser --incognito --kiosk file:///boot/WeatherForecastDashboard/index.html
