        @cowboysdude is the idea that the mini atx sits beside the mirror as opposed to being built? Say on a console table with just an HDMI cable running to the screen?

            All, I have got the Libre Computer now. Trying my best to get the mirror up. Ran in to a small hitch. There is no chromedriver for arm64 yet. They are working on it and there is a PR but it has not yet gone completely through it seems. I’ll see if I can figure it out some how anyway. :)

            I’ll come back to this thread as soon as I gotten MM up and running.

            If you cant find it, make it and share it!

              I’ve gotten it working a Pine Rock64 (arm64 also).

              Downloaded electron-v1.7.5-linux-arm64.zip listed under electron’s PR

              One thing to note: when downloading from the link, the site’s cert has expired.

              From terminal:

              // Since the cert for the site has expired (but is safe)
              
              wget --no-check-certificate https://www.hamidx9.ir/dl/electron_arm64/electron-v1.7.5-linux-arm64.zip
              
              // Important make sure to unzip to your electron path
              
              unzip electron-v1.7.5-linux-arm64.zip ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/
              
              

              Once done just started as usual (npm start).

                @stacywebb Thank you! I’ll try it out as soon as I got some time. Have you compared with a Pi3?

                  I haven’t done any benchmarking as of yet. Once I do, I’ll post the results.

                    If you could do some comparisons using nmon between a Pi3 and the Rock64 I’d really be interested in the results, as they pertain to this topic.

                    Otherwise, I’m looking forward to your results on the Rock64.

                      As i understood, u were able to use GPIO commands the same way u do on a raspberry. Seems to be a nice option
