Overview
The CLIO kiosk prototype is designed to have a mobile and modular form factor. All hardware is easily replaceable in the event of hardware damage or failure. It is constructed using off-the-shelf parts and does not require any soldering. Raspberry Pi hardware facilitates easy cloning of the kiosk system, allowing the institution to create additional kiosks in-house as demand dictates.
For the pilot test, all required parts were fabricated using a Creality CR-10 Mini 3D printer. This includes a case, mount, stand, collar and screen protector. We purchased standard metric metal hardware instead of printing it to improve durability.
Overall, the total cost per kiosk, including electronics, hardware, and filament is $220. The kiosk leverages designs that are available through online repositories under permissive licenses, as well as custom parts created specifically for this project.
Bill of Materials
There are required and optional parts used while making the POP kiosk. The parts you purchase can depend on your requirements. Don't need a speaker or a webcam in your kiosk? Don't purchase the parts. You will find a list of all hardware, electronics and consumables you will need to recreate a kiosk.
Preparing the Hardware
We will need to prepare the Raspberry Pi touchscreen and computer hardware to get it ready for software. This will involve mounting some hardware with screws and installing a few cables.
Preparing the Software
After the hardware is put together, we can install the software we need to get up and running. This will involve using software on another computer to copy files to an SD card.
Printing the Case
The POP kiosk is made from a collection of modular parts that can be printed separately and assembled into different configurations based on your specific needs and application.
Assembling the Kiosk
Once we have all the parts we need, we can start to build the final kiosk. This can including sanding and painting the kiosk case, or simply assembling all of the parts into one enclosed kiosk.
Updating the Kiosk
After we have our kiosk up and running, we can begin to update the content we display on the kiosk.
Customizing a POP Kiosk
The POP Kiosk comes with default settings that make it suitable for use as an embedded kiosk, but many of these settings are fully customizable. You can easily change the default resolution, display output, control wireless radios or change the boot logo.
