This module allows you to hide all your mirror modules transforming your mirror into a normal “Basic Mirror”.Īn additional side menu has been developed to safely Power Off / Reboot your pi without the need to pull your power cable. In this example, we’ll be adding a module we developed: MMM-SmartTouch Installing Smart Touch – Touchscreen interactive Smart Mirror Touchscreen – SmartTouch Interaction With over 400 modules ranging from Spotify, News to Face Detection customizing your mirror is much more interesting. You could do this by following the steps outlined on Auto Starting Magic Mirror.Īdding additional Modules Smart Mirror Modules – Including Spotify, Face Recognition and SmartTouchĪdding modules is a great way of customizing your mirror in a unique way. Note: If you would like to have your MagicMirror working from start-up, we recommend installing PM2 a production process manager. Note: You could decrease the MagicMirror size of the font with CTRL + –Īuto Starting Magic Mirror – Installing PM2 Start the application (Recommended for this setup): npm run startFor Server Only use: npm run server . Make a copy of the config sample file: cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js Terminal – Adding MagicMirror Modulesĭownload and install the latest Node.js version: curl -sL | sudo -E bash -Ĭlone the repository and check out the master branch: Fortunately, this is just as straightforward. Note: The official support way of installation has been updated from single line command to manual installation. For simplicity the main snippet has been quoted below: Head off to Magic Mirror for the full Installation & Usage Guide. Upon boot-up of the Raspberry Pi, complete the remaining setup, and ensure you’re connected to the internet via LAN/Wi-Fi. ![]() It’s has a great community and support which makes this a solid project. MagicMirror is an open-source modular smart mirror platform developed by MichMich. Installing Magic Mirror MagicMirror Installation on Raspberry Pi 4 Whereby you could access Pi via VNC or Mouse and Keyboard Note: This process could take 10-15 minutes Ensuring the correct disk has been selected click “Flash!” to begin writing the image to your SD Card.Open Balena Etcher and select extracted the image you’ve downloaded.Plug your Micro SD card Adapter with your SD card to the computer.Download Etcher and install the application on your computer.Download and install The latest Raspbian OS which can be found on Raspberry Pi.The YouTube tutorial equivalent also outlines this. You could find more information on how to install the latest Raspbian OS on the Raspberry Pi site. The Raspbian OS was flashed onto the 32 GB Micro SD Card. Installing Raspbian Buster Etching Raspbian OS to MicroSD Looking from hindsight – We recommend a monitor with HDMI ports on the side of the Monitor The LED strips also includes a remote for changing LED colours. The strips included an adhesive coat to the back which allowed us to peel and wrap the strips around the Monitor. LED strips were added to give the mirror a nice ambient glow. ![]() LED Strips: Smart Mirror – LED Strips Assembly An Interior varnish coat was added to the frame to give it a nice glossy finish. An opening on the strap was made to allow space for HDMI ports on the monitor for the Raspberry Pi display input. The final mirror dimensions were W 47.6cm x L 77cm x H 7cm.Ī monitor strap/ back support was added to secure the support of the Frame. Strong PVA (Gorilla) glue and nails were used to re-enforce the frame. This was assembled using 1×4 Fiberwood from your local DIY store, and a hacksaw to cut the dimensions. (However, your build can be left to your creativity). IR Frame built from Fibreboard Building Mirror Frame And Assembly of partsĪ wooden frame was built In order to encase the 32 inch Monitor. This information is relayed back to your Raspberry Pi corresponding to your display. Similar to an optical mouse USB peripheral, based on where you touch the frame a beam interruption occurs and the IR sensor is able to co-ordinate where you’ve touched. Typically IR frames have LEDs on one side of the frame and Light detectors on the opposite side. IR frames are based on light-beam interruption. ![]()
