    @Cr4z33 - I can do better than guess. I bought it from www.twowaymirrors.com. They have a rep, @twowaymirrors who is on this forum every so often. They were great and I pretty much only use them at this point. It’s their 50% transmission model, I think. I’d have to check the receipt.

    @bachoo786 Hello thanks! Unfortunately there is no video or guide how i made it, but i can answer you of any question about this process. The rest of the mirror is covered by black foil 3M. About the question for the dielectric mirror, i cannot make a difference between two way mirror and dielectric because this is my first project and i never used before two way mirror:)

    Hi @Wuz0ink well done amazing job. Just a quick question how is your glass? is it better than a dielectric mirror? as in when the screen is turned off does it behave like a normal mirror? thanks.

    Thanks, I know I couldn’t get the monitor to be less bright, so depending on the angle and the distance you can see shining through

    @ELMAGO Bonjour, je débute sur MM² et j’ai trouvé ton post. J’aime bien ta présentation du module météo. Tu pourrais partager ton fichier de config ?

    @supersook - There are a few tools that can do this. I would recommend a router with a flush trim bit. Pull the acrylic out and very carefully lay it along the edge of a scrap piece of wood (a sheet of something would be ideal). The amount you want to remove from the acrylic should overhand the support sheet. Clamp it down good & hard. Set the depth so that the bearing rides along the support sheet and the bit trims the acrylic. Go fairly briskly as acrylic likes quick cuts. Slow cuts will have the bit rub against the acrylic and melt it. You may wish to practice on scrap a couple times first.
  • I built the original, so glad to see a community here!

    I had no idea this community existed. Wow! I built the first MagicMirror back in 2008, and it’s been duplicated a bunch of times over the years. i was happy to help with a lot of early projects, then kind of stepped away to work on other interactive things. This is my first outing: [https://youtu.be/dAI9mF_cBu0?t=8](link url) It actually bankrolled my New York based interactive company all those years ago and I went on to build Mirrors for all kinds of customers, big and small. It was a really fun chapter in my life. Trivia #1 : I did not use one-way acrylic mirrors bc they cut too much light and the brightest displays in 2007 was a plasma tv (super hot to the touch), and even that look like it had dark car tint on it. LED and Oled were not invented yet. Even lcd projectors hadn’t come into their own yet. the only bright ones were gigantic arena projectors. Trivia #2 : IR touchframes from companies like PQ Labs and Zaagtech did not yet exist. we had to build our own… up to that point all my touch work was camera based using touchlib and openCV, but ofcourse, blob tracking would not work with this type of set up. Hell, even the arduino was not yet on the scene, doing interactive tech was pretty challenging.

    Hi. I have now managed to set up my first MM2 on a HP Z32 in portrait mode and so far all good. Since the setup I am playing around with fine tuning and I tried various fonts. To be honest I didnt find a really nice one which can be used in a moderate big size but which does not interfere with the other modules due to the size (meaning, that I dont have to resize the font or modules to have the full entries displayed without being wrapped). Long story short :-) What fonts are you using on your mirror? Picture would be nice. Cheers Pat

    No but you need at least a pi… hook the sensor to the GPIO pins…no bread board is needed.
