Minimum requirements for running a dashboard
Tip
We recommend the ASUS Chromebit because of its price, size, and that it runs Chrome. Since it’s a Chrome OS device, it’s also compatible with our Chrome app for Chrome OS.
Geckoboard runs on a wide range of devices and platforms, however occasionally we come across some setups that aren't suitable for displaying a dashboard at its best. If you're unsure whether Geckoboard will run on a particular device, we recommend the following as a minimum requirement.
Browser: Chrome, Firefox or Safari (updated to latest version to fully support HTML5 and JavaScript). IE (all versions) and stock Android browsers are not supported.
System: 512MB of memory recommended as a minimum.
Other important details:
- Supports full screen mode
- Has an HDMI output or proper cable for your screen
- Allows for easy text input (for navigating to your dashboard)
- Capable of connecting to a wireless network
Note
If your device doesn't meet the minimum requirements, please make sure Geckoboard Lite is enabled.
Warning
If you’re using a Smart TV, we still recommend using an external device to run Geckoboard. Smart TV web browsers are typically underpowered and not up-to-date, so we can't guarantee things will run smoothly.
If you still choose to use a Smart TV, we recommend making sure that Geckoboard Lite is enabled.
