      @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.

            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

                        @Mykle1 The b/g/n adapter is a further $7, and will also give you an antenna for better connectivity. The more robust (and likely excessive) b/g/n/ac dual-antenna is $22.

                        Has anyone tried running MM on an Intel Compute Stick? I’m not normally a fan, but it seems it would suit the form factor and be easily placed behind a mirror, and has more fulsome specs to accommodate advanced modules, media streaming, etc.

                        Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.
