    Hello, is it possible to place it behind the mirror? Could you show us a picture of your integration into MagicMirror?
    Thank you in advance.

      That is exactly what I’m planning to do. In theory it works behind the mirror, but you will lose the touch gestures more than likely. Unfortunately I do not have the mirror yet (it has not been delivered yet), but I’ll post a picture/results when I get it.

      So far I wrote the code this way:

      Left/right swipes go through MMM-pages & MMM-pages_indicator

      Up/down swipes open/close newsfeed details

      Each gesture also triggers the LED on the sensor board.

      I’m still thinking what other things I can do with the remaining gestures.

      I’ll update the correct code after I clean it up a bit.

              @steffenschmidt, I was successful to some extent. I have managed to use the gestures from the board to control the interface. Up, down, left and right are working and more will follow when I know what I want them to do. The only problem is that the flick sensor is NOT WORKING behind the mirror, probably because of the aluminum/silver layer that makes a mirror a mirror.

              I will work on the project in the winter holidays and post some more details.

                Updated the code, and also support for the Asus Tinker Board.

                  This is exactly what Im looking for. Im trying to get your module to run but Im first of all not a programmer (can do simple things in python an such)

                  I altered your python script to work with my skywriter board, easy enough. But i wonder how i set up the config file? Just load the module? If I do that I get a error that says "cannot find module “python-shell”

                  I was hoping the sensor would work behind the mirror to but it wont. I will put it on the inside of the frame insted…

                    I sorted it out. Didn’t have python-shell installed :)

                      So you did you get it to work? I have an updated version if you are interested.
