@strawberry-3.141 That’s hot!

Thanks!! Got one on backorder :) Going to use it for this:
-
Damn, I was just about to buy a regular 3 …I’ll wait…

@strawberry-3.141 Can the newly released RPI Zero W be used in place of an Rpi 3? I tried to swap my microSD card from an RPi 3 into a Pi Zero v1.3 and got an error on trying to start the Magic Mirror saying that the Pi Zero does use an acceptable version of some software.
Has anyone ported the Magic Mirror source code so that it does work on an RPi Zero? If so, is that code available? If not, how difficult would it be to port it for the RPi Zero W??

@jproehl There’s a forum here that another person got it to run on a Pi Zero I believe…

@cowboysdude Great! Thanks, I’ll check it out. I’m trying to make a very compact mirror and the Pi Zero would assist the design, especially with the new wireless version of the Pi Zero just released.
-
@jproehl keep in mind that it has way less power than a rpi 3, some modules could “freeze” your mirror
-
@strawberry-3.141 Good point, thanks for the reminder. Maybe I’ll just stick with the RPi 3. The frame I’m making for my mirror will be two layers of 3/4" maple (I had some left over flooring material), since I’ve heard the RPi 3 can run a bit hotter than the other RPi models, would it be a good idea to leave off the top board on the back row (next to the wall) to allow for the heat to exit from behind the mirror?

Bought one to swap out my raspberry pi 3 for another project. Starting from scratch, the curl script command doesnt work. What is the best way to get node.js installed from Pixel?
