Introduce yourself!

Hi everyone!

I am David Gölzhäuser, 21 Years old from Bavaria (Germany) and working as a Software Developer in the Austrian Home Automation Company Loxone.

I made my first MagicMirror this year and I am planing on making more for our apartments next year to greet our visitors:)

I have already contributed to a number of MagicMirror modules and even the MagicMirror project itself.

You can find me on my Website

Oh, and here are the modules I made :winking_face:

Hello
New here
Can someone please help me with creating a module that will display student grades. I really need it for my thesis.

Hi all, i am Roxx aka Nelson, aged 26 from Ahmedabad, india. I came to know about magic mirror from YouTube. Its so exciting to have one so i started building one for myself a week ago…

I haven’t learned any programming or anything complicated, i am just 10 grade pass, havent studied further… i am very much interested in computers, hardware & software, robotics, motorcycles, exploring… all that i know, i have learnt from internet and by practically breaking, disassembling, re-assembling gadgets, pc, tv, ac, home appliances, etc… i always want to open it, study how it works, how could i make it better and close it!! … i make simple stuff at home, diy, modify PC’s & Motorcycles, handyman job, etc.

Previously, i had bought arduino to make a clock but before i could make anything i lost it and dont remember where i kept it…

Now i am working to make touchscreen magic mirror since 1st jan 2019, i ordered raspberry 3b+, hdmi cable, sd card, power adaptor,… i got these minimum components and started… I have a 50inch tv at home so for now i am trying to get MM fully functional, then i will buy touchscreen and two way mirror and build Touchscreen Magic Mirror…

I collected all my old pc & laptop hardware to use for MM like ac-dc adaptors, wires, cooling fans, led’s, switches, etc. i wish to setup multiple cooling fans for the Rpi and the wooden frame, etc…

currently, i am having problems with modules in MM, hardest part for me is the programming language, editing the config file, modules, etc…

After coming to this website i noticed, its raspberry and not rasberry!

Thanks!

Hi I’m new, almost 50, thought I’d try a magicmirror without the mirror, using a PI2 and 20" monitor

Hi all, newbie incoming! Swiss guy around 40, really into tech stuff, in need for some new challenges. About 4 Rpi runnings and another one incoming (zero w… Guess what for ;) )
I’m much more into soldering and hardware hack than programming.
Hope to get and give some help.
English or French is ok, german… nur ein bisschen

Regards

@analogcheep give this a try as will need little programming and gives you bit more of the config

[edit]
Scrap that as after some playing now do things totally different and its much easier for the zero. Slightly unsure why such complicated methods exist for the pi0 as its really simple.
Haven’t even bothered with a script as its easy and the NodeJS tools are extremely user friendly.

Try that instead now I have a week under my belt with a zero and MM :)

Hello my name is Steve, I’m retired and trying to keep the old mind sharp. Creating my first MagicMirror has really helped. It was a tremendous struggle. There is a whole new mindset and language to learn when it comes to talking and coding and working with MagicMirror. Took me awhile to catch on. Before I started all I wanted to do was figure a way to automate some window blinds in a upstairs window. YouTube introduces me to Arduino then Esp8266 then Raspberry pi. Then Raspberry pi introduces me to MagicMirror. Have forgotten the automated blinds. So I guess I’ll see you around.

Hello everyone,

I work at a school and thought this Raspberry Pi project would be perfect for a bulletin board.

It is definitely more involved than I thought it would be. But its been a great learning experience.

Still working out the bugs though. Hopefully have it bug free soon!
