Bootstrap Carousel Full Screen
I am trying to get the image in the bootstrap carousel to show full screen but haven't been able to figure it out, I've been working on this for awhile and am totally stuck. Right now I have just one image, but I will add more once it works...

Answer
Update Bootstrap 4
Bootstrap 4 has utility classes that make it easier to create a full screen carousel. For example, use the min-vh-100 class on the carousel-item content...
<div class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
<div class="carousel-inner bg-info" role="listbox">
<div class="carousel-item active">
<div class="d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center min-vh-100">
<h1 class="display-1">ONE</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This works to make the carousel items full screen, but carousel items that contain images or videos that have a specific size & aspect ratio require further consideration.
Since the viewport h/w ratio is likely to be different than the image or video h/w ratio, usually background images or object-fit are commonly used to size images and videos to "full screen". For videos, use the Bootstrap responsive embed classes as needed for the video ratio (21:9, 19:9, etc...).

Original answer (Bootstrap 3)
Make sure the img inside the carousel item is set to height and width 100%. You also have to make sure the carousel and any of the .item containers (html,body) are 100%...
html,body{height:100%;}
.carousel,.item,.active{height:100%;}
.carousel-inner{height:100%;}
