This is a carpentry question really and a matter of choice.

IF you have glue that is very good like Titebond glue for wood then yes you could glue and clamp it.
This is a preferred method for those who do not want screw or nail holes to show…BUT if you don’t get it perfectly square that could be a problem…

You could also screw your frame together… or nail.

You could also do both…glue and screw/nail it.

Any of those combinations would work…

@cowboysdude Yes…So you mean the holes for adding the L shaped latch?

@broberg yes it’s them. ty ;-)

@lucallmon
Were you able to use the USB to VGA adapter for your 2 monitors?

Mine were on the bottom of the bezel, but I would not think it would matter, I took the bezel off so the screen was flat against the mirror so the controls just hang behind the monitor now. The big thing is what way the power and VGA/HDMI face, you dont want them getting in the way.

I did it. Is not my “Main Magic Mirror”, I just made it for fun. I have no mirror, only the simple screen.
I have used an IKEA RIBBA triple picture frame, this has fit of the width and needs to be shortened only in length.

maybe an another tip is to use a strong power supply with 12V 4A and a converter modul from 12v to 5V than use have only one cable

thank you all for your answers… was very helpfull

Thought it would be nice to have a central place for anyone looking to order a 2-way mirror in the UK to see where previous UK MM builders have bought theirs from and how it looks.

Please include:

Supplier (website address/company name) Mirror specification (acrylic/glass, thickness, light percentage) Photograph of the mirror Little review - are you happy with the mirror, is there anything you’d do differently?

Cheers!

Hi guys,

Have any Australians found a good, cheap supplier for 2-way mirrors in Australia? Or which can be imported into Australia in less than a month? Our client doesn’t want to use mirror film.

You could probably make the remote module send terminal commands and make it alter the wifi connection, but you would probably have to know the ssid of the network, ie no choosing and clicking the network

@johnnyboy There is no break in connection I think, I use this to test the sensor and it says always “Motion detected”.

from gpiozero import MotionSensor import time pir = MotionSensor(4) while True: #repeat this forever if pir.motion_detected: # if motion is detected print the message print("Motion detected!") if not pir.motion_detected: # if no motion is detected print the message print("No motion detected!") time.sleep(1)

Hi WLCD!

We can continue the discussion in PM

Rds,

I can’t change the name. According to Google admins can, but I’m not sure

@cohron you could use an overlay touch frame :)

Do you actually hear the fan? I’m afraid it is disturbing even though it might only be whispering

@ninja said in Powerbook G4 screen with Magicmirror:

I’m wondering if it’s clever to use an old screen and add 33$ +xx $ for AC for something that will perhaps not work.
Instead of Buying a real ‘used’ screen …

Everyone has their own reasons for using an old LCD monitor. Some people like to reuse them so they don’t add to the trash that is choking the planet. Some people like projects. I like both of these reasons.

You can certainly find used screens that don’t require any conversion. The choice is yours. Good luck and have fun. :-)
