Auto-cycle through open tabs in Chrome

Add "Revolver" Chrome extension to automatically switch tabs using a timer.
Display Network statistics, Node status, News, or just personalize your node.
Example:

Using "Revolver" Chrome extension the node automatically switches between Network Stats and price...

https://bitnodes.21.co/ Views for 30 seconds to update me of the node status.

Many other useful, colourful and quicky/insane displays available at http://www.bitcoinlinks.net/blockchain-tools

To Personalize your Node:

First off we'll stop the node from what it's doing.

Using PUTTY, log in via SSH as you've been doing for the guide and setup.

Use the command:
                                    bitcoin-cli -datadir=/home/pi/bitcoinData stop

This will safely exit the node.

Open:
                            sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
     
Picture
And add # to the start of the
​
@chromium-browser, line

The # tells the Pi to ignore the line.
​
Save, exit. (Ctrl+o, Ctrl+x)
And:
                                 sudo reboot

To restart the Pi to the desktop without the browser running.

Using a USB mouse and keyboard attached to the Pi, open Chrome, and open in the tabs the webpages you want the node to display and scroll through. You can open as many as you like. Leave these tabs open.

Next install the Revolver Chrome extension:

Using the USB mouse and keyboard attached to the Pi, navigate to the chrome menu, then select,

Picture
Search for Revolver and click "ADD TO CHROME"

It will add it's icon to the top right of your screen.
Right click on this icon and select "Options"

And you'll see this Tab:
Picture
The first number to change is the top "seconds" box. This figure is the default set across all tabs. I here have set 5 minutes (600 seconds)

Next tick auto-start.

And "Save"

Then in advanced settings you will see a box for each tab you have open.
Each page is customizable with it's own time. If you leave it un-selected here it will still be displayed, but subject to the default time we set at the top of the page.
In my example here I set 5 minutes as the default because bitnodes.21.co only updates node data every 5 minutes. Visiting more often will just display the same data. Selecting "reload" does as it says. Each time Revolver goes back to that tab it will reload the tab, and so displaying the most up-to-date data. It displays my node status for 30 seconds and then reverts back to network stats again.

Once happy with your changes click "save".

Close the options tab. And click the Revolver icon in the top right so it is green (if it isn't already).

F11 will make chrome full-screen (like the Kiosk mode) and the tabs will continue to cycle as per your settings.

Have fun with this bit, add pages and see how they look. Not all pages are suitable for the small Pi screens but with some adapting it can look great.

​**Note: I'd like it to enable the Revolver extension when auto-booting from the LXDE file like in the original guide. For some reason that isn't possible yet. I'll look into it.
