Works now Thank you.

@snake147 thats awesome really…are you willing to share your css files and others youve modified?

I don’t know what the real topic is all about but it seems to be some building that you can see here and maybe would like to know this now as read more info will help you in knowing about stuff that was always there for us to go for a better enough reason later…

@tuzlabih

I’m looking to do something similar.

Would you mind posting details how the frame, mirror, and how you connected the tablet?

Thanks!

@lopazopy Looks great!! Nice job!

@fribse I just did another video for valentines :-)

I’ve created something I think is really awesome: I call it the HAL Pi-Thousand.

HAL Pi.JPG

A Pi 4b, a USB WebCam/Mic combo, two touchscreen displays, the native RasPi 7" and a decent 10.1" I found on Amazon, a nice picture frame, a powered USB Hub on the side, and of course a HAL 9000 model. And a wireless keyboard/trackpad combo for control, or a VNC connection once it’s fully completed and no longer right at my computer desk.

Here’s my question: it has two displays. I had thought to find some way to make a sort of ten to fifteen-virtual button interface for the bottom one, assuming there’s a way to do that at the Newbie/kinda-interested-but-no-Python-experience-to-speak-of stage.

Alternately, I’d like to give it a second Magic Mirror for the bottom display, you know, have a bit more info on display. It’d have to be a second incarnation of MM, because the two are slightly different sizes, which apparently is enough to prevent the MM on the 10" display from extending through to the 7".

So, does this sound in any way doable? Or on the other hand, is there some way to get MM to extend to the 7 after all? Or on the other other hand…

is there some relatively idiot-resistant way to set up those virtual buttons I mentioned, either in MM or some other app?

This is what I had in mind for the virtual buttons:

See, I got the idea for the overall layout and design from something I found while playing the Google lottery: a company had planned to sell a sort of Alexa/HAL thing a few years ago, but it never got off the ground beyond the example stage. Also, the thing would have cost about $1,000, which not a lot of folks would be ready to pony up, no matter how cool it looks. I’d considered trying to find some light-up buttons for the lower section early on, but didn’t see anything that was quite right, and besides I already had the 7". Plus, this way it can have more functions than just being a button section. I figure it’d be a good place to use for a Teams or other video area (did I mention this runs Teams? Well, it runs Teams. And I’m hoping to incorporate Alexa or Google Assistant or that Voice thing in the 3rd party section, but that’s another subject), so a graphical Virtual button setup seems the way to go.

Anyway, that’s where I’m at right now. So, any thoughts on these options, guys? Run a second MM, extend the first MM, Virtual buttons, or maybe virtual buttons at the bottom of an extended MM?

I appreciate any advice from People Who Know Stuff. Thanks

@jalibu Very nice!!! I guess my job here is done LOL However for the record I have installed the module [MMM-Rain-Radar] and it’s working with no issue for hours…

@sdetweil said in 1 old noob + 1 rPi = I can't believe I did it! (revisited):

u two keep bringin back to the top!

That’s right. :-)

5 years since I completed my first mirror? Who would have thought? I’ve been away for quite some time. Got plenty of messages in the meantime, stating that my modules weren’t working. Thought I would address some of them after a brand new install of the newest MM running on ubuntu 20.04.03.

These are running. Although some with hard coded options may not display all of them (e.g. MMM-EyeCandy). Finding the default animations was very time consuming and a changed url is all it takes to break the module. I welcome anyone that wants to find new ones for the module.

@mmoayed maybe I didn’t know what it did…

sorry

have to look thru the 3rd party list

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-Party-Modules

Thought that I would share the MagicMirrors that I built…

The first endeavor utilized a 32" LED television that had been given to me by a friend. I removed the plastic cabinetry from the television and then cut an opening in the basement family room wall the exact size of the television (I chose the location at the bottom of the stairs and was fortunate that the back side of the wall wasn’t finished as it was in the mechanical area of the basement). I put the television in the opening and then used oak trim to make a nice frame. Pictures are of the front side and the back side.IMG_0950.jpg IMG_0951.jpg

After I built my first MagicMirror, I found that it was really inconvenient to have to go to the basement just to see the important stuff so, I decided to build a second mirror utilizing a second Raspberry Pi. (Truth is I needed a project to keep my hands and mind occupied!) I had an old iPad laying around that wasn’t doing anything so I decided that it would make a nice display.IMG_0952.jpg IMG_0953.jpg

For the iPad, I made a small opening in the wall behind the iPad and fished the power cord down into the basement laundry room. I used small pieces of oak (1/2" and 1/4" thick) to hold the iPad on the wall. This MagicMirror is on the wall immediately inside the back door. This one is more convenient for us to see the temperature as we are leaving the house. I did have to remove the overhead flights module on this one because of space limitations. This MagicMirror uses VNC to connect to the Raspberry Pi which is located in the networking closet of our home.

Both of the Raspberry Pis backup their respective home folders to a Macintosh on the home network every morning. Every night (around midnight) the Macintosh sends a shutdown command to the Pis and then sends a command to the Sonoff at each Pi to cut the power. The
Sonoffs power up in the morning which causes the Pis to power up for the day.

Building these have been fun and I hope that these pics inspire others to build.

I love it! Very cool

@cheapdad thx, but it not about me…

just the expectations are different than the objectives

this is a learning tool, which CAN be used in a lot of different ways… it is NOT intended to be an assembly line kit

@bhepler Wow. I am properly impressed. Very nice! How do I place my order? ;-)

@sifuhall

Looks great.

Any chance you could post the options you’ve used for the calendar module?

I’m trying to get the same date/time display as you

see here for my question - https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/16171/how-to-show-actual-times-for-todays-events

Schaut super aus und schön aufgeräumt. Ich hätte 2 Fragen dazu:

Welche Einstellungen hast du vorgenommen damit im Monatskalender die Zahl 16 grün angezeigt wird? Welche Einstellungen hast du vorgenommen damit der obere Kalender in Magenta Farbe angezeigt wird?

@rachee who did u reply to?

Hey nice Mirror, can you show the mirror in normal light or daylight ……I like the mirror

@pat59 sorry, more…

where is your source calendar? google, ???
what does your config.js entry for calendar look like (muck up any text in the post so you don’t expose your calendar)

{ module: "calendar", .. ... }

what pi is this?

uname -a

what pi os ?

lsb_release -a

how long have u had it running?

what do you mean by

I don’t know why it works and suddenly sycronizes

those words mean the same thing, works and sync is good…

… … now in winter edition :-)
