    all Pis above a Pico have HDMI output. so you can attach a screen to
    that and run a GUI


    Thanks, I was expecting to use the HDMI output.


    If you want to run the Pios Linux in 'kiosk' mode that can be done.
    Auto login and set the program you want to run in the user startup menu


    A quick look online suggests that kiosk mode is what I want.

    Also, any recommendations for a suitable display to use.? Ideally >>something no bigger than A5 as space is a tight.

    Looks like the sort of thing I'm after.

    Thanks again
