Also, @sean has a calendar module or two that you might like

Hallo,

kleiner Tip, was die Auswahl des Spionspiegels angeht. Ich habe mehrere ausprobiert und bin nun bei dem Produkt Mirropane Chrome Spy gelandet. Ich muss sagen, dass Ergebnis ist sensationell! Ich habe mir meinen kostengünstig auf Wunschmaß bestellt im Shop www.Glas-Spiegel24.de

@babyray said in Anfänger hat Fragen:

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin ein absoluter Anfänger was MM angeht und eher die einfache Windows User. Also keinerlei Erfahrung mit diesem Linux Kram.
Ich möchte aber gern mal etwas rumprobieren und daher wende ich mich an euch.
In den ganzen Anleitungen werden die Displays immer auseinander gebaut, ich nehme mal an um Platz zu sparen, aber geht das auch mit einem kompletten Monitor?
Quasi Spiegel vor den Monitor montiert, RPi3 dran und gut ist? Oder muss der Spiegel/Folie zu dicht wie möglich ans Display?
Bekommt man das ganze ohne Programmierkenntnisse hin?

Danke

@sean

It works well. Thank you very much.^^

WIth a little creative woodworking, you could route a channel along the frame. Similar to a rabbet, but an 8mm wide and 2mm deep channel could fit a string of LEDs. The lights would illuminate her face but the channel would keep them from washing out the acrylic & screen.

First get grandma internet/wifi, THEN build her a MagicMirror. :-)

Sorry email me and i can send images.

I stumbled onto MM2.5 10 days ago with little background in JS. I’ve had a blast getting my mirror set-up and am in awe of its capabilities and the developers contributing time and energy to this FREE project. Complaining about anything just seems misplaced to me. Instead, dig in a little and “learn the ropes”. Don’t know if I’ll dig in myself, but it sure looks like fun!

As a teacher I can tell you several :)

You can talk about technology… microprocessors and how many millions of commands they execute per millisecond, memory, how what used to fill a room you can now put on a simple little SD card.

Science - flow of electricity and how it all works for computers, how small tech is allowing for things such as medicine, communications and even how to make your home ‘smarter’ and use less energy.

Health, entertainment [movies, sports]

For an exercise let them come up with an idea how to use tech to make their lives easier…

I could go on and on but I think you get the jist ;)

@barnosch Vielen Dank! Ich werde meinen PIR Sensor nach dieser Anleitung diese Wochenende einmal testen.

Bonjour, je viens de commander un miroir sans tain chez Brigla. Rien à dire. Épaisseur de 6mm et miroir parfait. Dimension 60×40 pour 73€ . Emballage au top.

@cyberphox
YESSSSSS! That’s what I need!
Thank you for helping me my friend!

I’ve installed the Pi camera behind the mirror and it allows motion detection to turn on-off the monitor.

As suggested by Bhelper I start it with pm2 and the result is just … perfect!

@jordanargueta said in Developing for MagicMirror....Where do I start?:

What is your tech stack for developing for this project?

Experiences about HTML, CSS, Javascript(Or NodeJS), *nix

Whats the proper way to make new modules?

Copy other’s module and research it how it works.

See
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/modules/README.md
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/8534/head-first-developing-mm-module-for-extreme-beginners

If you use webstorm how did you get this project to run on your local? (Please answer this like I’m tech illiterate. I’m obviously missing something so too many details could be a big help!)

I’m not using webstorm. anyway, you should install nodejs on your computer first. Then install MagicMirror like you did on RaspberryPi.
I think *nix machine (Debian/Ubuntu) is good for development, Personally, I develop my modules on Mac OSX. But you can do it on your Windows Powershell.

If you use some other IDE or just use something simpler walk me through your process for creating, running, and testing your new scripts?

Usually I’m using atom or vim, sublimeText and textWrangler. I don’t care whatever IDE.
In my case, I begin from creating git Repository with module name. Then clone it to my workspace (under MM directory where is installed on your dev-machine). Copy some template files from my previous work or You can use https://github.com/roramirez/MagicMirror-Module-Template

Or just create file named with MMM-BlahBlah.js.
Then doing coding, testing, making manual, then updating git repository. Then release here.

{ module: 'MMM-iFrameReload', position: 'top_left', // This can be any of the regions. config: { url: "https://gadgets.buienradar.nl/gadget/zoommap/?lat=50.8838492&lng=8.020959100000027&overname=2&zoom=8&naam=siegen&size=2&voor=0", width: "250px", height: "315px", refreshInterval: 3600 } },

Hello,

Unfortunately, my English is not really that good, but I hope you can help me;)

German post office are rather rare

So now to my questions or my plans;):

I want to use a second MagicMirror. Or. use a TouchDisplay without mirror in the kitchen with the SmartMirror software.

I would like to have appointments, weather etc displayed

Is it possible somehow to enter new appointments via the Touch Monitor?

Can a Webbrwoser be integrated for surfing?

I hope you can continue to help me and my post is readable

Thanks and greetings
Totti

Thanks Damian - that is actually one of the ones I’d already seen as it turns out, but I was surprised by the price as it’s a whisker under a hundred quid to get one 45cm x70cm which isn’t exactly enormous.

Maybe it’s just the case that the 2 way mirror process they add is very costly, as it’d be about a 10th of that cost to just get a piece of glass cut that size.

Bit of a bugger though as I wasn’t expecting to pay nearly a hundred quid just for a pane of mirror glass. :(

----- I know I entered again at the very end ---- 'pip install --upgrade pip’ — using quotes, this was a C&P error, but it still wont work even without those mistaken quotes.

@joseaguardia Por cierto, me costó 45€ el espejo de 50x70cm.

La pega es que es algo oscuro, no es color plata.
