@lucas781 As I’ve said, I’ve repurposed it. I’m likely gonna repurpose the other 5" display I have too for SOMETHING… just donno what yet.

Hi everyone, I don’t know if this is the right place, or even the right website to ask this, but I saw other people asking similar questions about LVDS , so why not give it a shot. Recently, I purchased a “BOE DV332X2M-NV0” square LCD panel for a large MAME cabinet that I am building. The problem I am having is that the LCD panel came with no cables, and the seller is non-responsive to my messages about buying a controller board and power supply specific to this LCD panel. And I cannot find anything online about this LCD panel or anyone else that has bought this specific LCD panel. Here is a link to the exact panel I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/BOE-33-2inch-1920-1920-500nit_1600140870384.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_image.717e6c5cNX9Lky I have looked into these “universal LVDS board kits” but all of the sellers say that my panel is not supported and will not help either. So I am hoping that someone here is able to help me out, or at least steer me in the right direction of what to buy. From what I have read from the specs (posted below) it takes a 5V input voltage and has a 92pin connector. I should also mention that the only thing I am trying to do is convert the LVDS over to HDMI or VGA so I can pretty much use it as a computer monitor. Any help with this is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Back then I ordered an android TV box from China but it never arrived so I abandoned the idea. I also need a PIR in combination with a relay. However, I am pretty sure you can run ARMbian from SD card on those boxes. There are plenty of websites and Youtube videos out there. I am confident it works but who knows. I’ll gladly test it once I get my hands on a cheap box.

@nicksullivan Raspi needs a power supply, monitor may need too. then glass, and some backing if monitor doesn’t cover all the glass…

Hello, I’m looking for ideas to power the pi and the screen of a laptop, do you have any ideas? I found some generic chargers

HI, I’ve got a PI 3B and want to add some light pipes to reveal the PCB LEDs on the frame of my MM. Has anyone successfully done this? The pipes and the external end are easy enough but I can’t work out what I need to sit on / connect to the pcb. Suggestions welcome! Thanks.

@earnestrichards said in Disassembly a Dell U2715H: I had the same question when I started work on my ‘mirror’ earlier this summer. I had purchased a HP monitor and found a link for 3rd party recyclers to properly disassemble and recycle the various monitor parts. I used the same search term (except Dell not HP) and found this: Dell Monitor Disassembly Thank you, 24h after my second email I got a perfect disassembly instruction. Unfortunately, the pdf is to big to upload it here.

@videogame95 - I normally put a travel power strip inside the frame for the mirror. I’ve since started adding external switches that cut the power to the power strip, but you can get by with just using the power strip’s plug. Once you have the power strip in the frame, you can plug in the 3.1 amp adapter into the strip, along with the monitor, LED supply or whatever else you have back there. With some careful shopping, you might find a strip with a USB C plug built into it.

@bumrocks general rules the thing on the left of : does not need quotes if the thing to the right of : is a number or true/false, also does not need quotes if the thing to the right of : has letters in it, then it needs quotes, either kind are ok, but must be the same yes, if the monitor/tv has the ugly no signal/connection, then u want to use hide

@inversation thank you, I just moved to Melbourne and this will be perfect!

Yes, the CN201 supplies the power for the whole LCD. It only has 40V DC, but I’m still careful. ;) The two black cables are 40V and the white ones are ground. As I stated before the same happens when I just pull it: the screen turns black and won’t come on again when I put it back in. The motion sensor seems to be digital but I already tried to replace it without success. The connector C501 in the second picture of my last post is the connection between the control buttons including the motion sensor and the mainboard. It seems that the first wire labeled as “+3.3V_M” is the power for the motion sensor but I couldn’t get it to work nevertheless. Also, the signal is processed by the main board I guess and as the minimum delay is 5 minutes, this isn’t an option for me anyways. It seems like I have to live with seeing the OSD sometimes until I decide to swap out the monitor but that won’t happen in the near future. Anyways, thank you very much for your replies and your time. If anybody else has an idea or a solution, I’m still happy to try it out.

@lxne said in Hardware Compatibility Question: Using the Grove Adjustable PIR Sensor & ReSpeaker Pi HAT in the Same Build?: My MM hardware: Raspberry Pi 3b+ Respeaker 2-Mics Hat Grove PIR Motion Sensor (connected to Respeaker GP12 SENSOR_PIN=12) Grove Gesture Sensor (PAJ7620u2) connected to Respeaker I2C-Input Works for me. @lxne how are you using the gesture sensor? have you it behind glass/2 way mirror/plastic ? thanks

The problem with having the mirror and the sensor so close is that the heat from the monitor and the pi itself will mess with the readings of the sensor.

@kayakbabe thank you very much, I find this community very helpful.

whenever I unplug my pi and plug it back in the fan will go crazy and make a loud noise. What I do is unplug it and plug it back in multiple times until it goes back to normal. Anyone know why?

@drx1984 no. but looks interesting as for hidden, for others, see https://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24963

Well done Prakhar It looks awesome. My friend in India is also looking for the two way mirror. can you tell me from where did you get the two way mirror ?

@banbutcher said in Running MM simultaneously with Home Assistant and Pihole on one Pi: any luck with any progress? euh… it’s just a Pi not an PC …configuration needed a lot of Ram … so min a RPI4 4Gb is needed personnaly, I execute Pihole in separate pi (RPI3B+) and Mirror with RPI4 2Gb But never I will use it in the same RPI

Hi @MichMich Thank you very much for this project. i am following this for many years and finally got some time to get my hands on this. for a start i would like to start with smaller mirror but i am having difficulties getting it here in Netherlands (near Leiden). All the shops online are quite expensive. can you please tell me from where you got your mirror ?
