I am working on a project similar to the one at http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Wall-Mounted-Google-Calendar/?ALLSTEPS

Similarly, I need my pi to stay on constantly. I have the regular Raspbian OS installed and I am using Iceweasel browser to run a web application all day.

I have tried every single one of these suggestions from this link http://www.bitpi.co/2015/02/14/prevent-raspberry-pi-from-sleeping/

Yet the pi fails to stay on longer than 10 minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know why it's not working since the last option mentioned in that post (lightdm configuration - Xsession blanking) worked pretty good for me.

Here is the easiest way for you.

Install xscreensaver by "sudo apt-get install xscreensaver"

Once installed, go to Rpi's desktop "Menu" (left top corner) [I'm assuming that you're running a raspbian?]

Go to preference ---> screensaver.

You will see a screen saver main menu. In mode : section, select "disable screensaver" and close.

Reboot Rpi. It should work now.

====================================

Also have a look at links below:

Disable screen blanking in X-Windows on Raspbian

How do I prevent the screen from going blank?

Hope it helps.
