      Here is a picture from the side where you can see the RasPi.

      The stupid glue-gun malfunctioned, so until the new one arives, its tacked in place with tape, witch sort of works.

        @Diddern Did you build a box behind the mirror for the equipment or how did you attach everything to the mirror itself?

        Furthermore I would like to know which measures you used. Your mirror looks so well, that I hope to rebuild it :)

          @Diddern How difficult was it to drill the holes in the mirror? That’s a fantastic look you’ve created and I’m hoping to do something similar in the future.

          @PaulB If I read his write-up correctly, he’s not using a monitor. He’s using a replacement laptop screen, which I presume is much lighter than a monitor of equal size. Electrical tape and glue seems to be his attachment method.

            @bhepler thanks :)
            I did not understand which type of monitor this was. But now it is clear to me

              @bhepler Sorry for the long wait in reply! The holes where drilled by the glass-guy, drilling glass is not for the faint of heart. Alongside with drilling, he also polished the sides, one thing I do not regret doing.

                This design is easily one of the most impressive I’ve seen. How did you get the monitor to affix to the glass? Just by using electrical tape to bind it to the construction paper on the back? Does it hold soundly?

                Is there anything to the connection of the RPI > Controller > Laptop monitor or is it straightforward?

                Great work!

                  @mizzoudavis hi! yeah electrical tape was used to affix the monitor to the glass, and the construction paper is affixed to the glass around the monitor. I would not recomending affixing the monitor to the paper. The glue I was using did not have the best contact for glass-paper and is the reason for this recommendation.
                  The monitor on the other hans has now been sitting glued with electrical tape to the glass for one year, with no problems what so ever.

                  The hookup is as easy as it sounds like. Takes longer to type out how easy it is to hook up, than hooking it up…

                        @Diddern Thanks! As for affixing it to the wall, where did you get the cap portion? It appears that it is a bolt that goes through the glass, then through the spacer and into the wall, correct? Again, fantastic design.
