Looks great! :thumbsup:

I’d like to know what your two modules are and what they do.

… yeah, a drunk magicmirror is no joke.

… seriously, though, nice work. Would love to see the back/guts of the thing.

They’re quite simple, the left one is a traffic map and the other is a passage table for my local public transport company.

Looks nice and clear. Congratulations on this work!
I am always curious to see how it looks from behind to see how others have installed the individual parts. Do you use two Raspberries?

No, it’s a single RPi 4, which has two micro hdmi outputs.

I would take a picture of the back, but the thing is super heavy and I need to remove all the gadgets from the mantelpiece… Maybe later. But there’s nothing really special about the back to be honest. The two monitors are held in place with a couple of metal brackets, I used wago connectors to wire all power inputs together and have a single power cable to feed everything, and that’s it.

That’s right, I can do it now. I hadn’t thought about it.
