    @langejos I am assuming you ran wlr-randr prior to creating the scripts to obtain your mirrors current display settings and then using that as input in the mon.sh?

    I learned how to hang it on the wall. Check lots of information and find out the 3 easiest and most effective methods:
    Method 1. Use frameless mirror hangers
    Method 2. Use mirror putty Method 3. Use adhesive tape
    All you need is to use them and help from some tools to get more.

    @magmar hey, you’ve done great detective work :) Yes, I removed the frame to be able to attach monitor as closest as possible to the glass.
    As you know, casing could be very different from solid 1-3cm wide borders to frame-less with almost no edges.
    I agree best solution would be to find the same monitor I checked local classifieds but I can’t find the same model so I’ll choose one which has closest dimension and give a try. If height is smaller than my wooden frame I’ll find a way to fix it. If it’s larger then I’ll have to sand down if it’s possible.

    @Kostosso not outdated…

    pm2 (node process manager) job is to start (at boot too) AND keep running any number of processes

    you can define the process in a json file (so you can have a pretty name vs the name of the script/executable)
    see the pm2_MagicMirror.json on my scripts site for the model I use in the install script
    or pm2 start xxx.sh (bash scripts MUST have .sh extension) if u start them directly)

    you can start your browser and also the python script with pm2…

    UPDATE!
    From a quick search I have done I decided that it is better to connect arduino and led strip on the same power supply. My led strip is a 3m ws2812b neopixel with 30pixels/meter which consume 60mA/pixel in full brightness so (60*90)/1000=5.4A. The power supply I am using is 5V - 6A so I think it anough for both since arduino’s only job is to send data to led strip. Please If someone has better knowledge of electricity correct me. Thank you.

    @sdetweil No problem. I will visit the store again when he has the glass to see it myself and if it is possible to see it working. After I will make up my mind.

    @Fozi I’m using the psu that came with the RPi 3B+. I have no extension cables. The only things I have attached is the HDMI monitor, Bluetooth keyboard and the SD chip. I wouldn’t think that would be too much for standard psu I’ll take a look at Amazon and get something with a little more umph. Thanks all for the lessons. Dennis

    @N6NG You might also want to try pololu.com if you are looking to connect to the header on your existing Pi. This is link to their connector page
