Hi Luke,
Did you manage to use 2 monitors with one Pi? Just like you I have some old monitors catching dust and would like to make a mirror with one pi. Including a camera to shut both screen down.

Hi Thommy,
i bought the Gert VGA 666 board but could not try it out yet (i preferred to start another Raspi-project in the meantime).
But since you are interested i will try to assemble that thing and connect two displays. Maybe i can try it this weekend.Luke

While the description says it can drive both a VGA and HDMI connected monitors, resulting in a dual setup, MM is configured to launch one Electron screen. You might be able to run a side-by-side installation of MM and launch it on a secondary port, and I’m assuming it will launch a second Electron window that you will then have to position on screen. I just don’t know what will happen when/if you restart the rpi. Will it remember where the screens were positioned? only testing will answer that.

I’m really interested if it works.
Has anybody tried yet? -
The Raspi can’t manage two displays!
2 display’s = 2 raspi’s!

@lolobyte said in Dual display:

Do you really mean the Raspi, or do you mean MagicMirror?
There is a VGA Modul for the Rasp, to handle two displays.It’s just interesting if MM knows hof to show it correct on restart.

Hi jeff,
the raspi has only a hdmi output and a output 4 a gpio display.
It is not possible to really work with 2 display’s.
U have a link to your VGA Module?
If this module is really capable to run those 2 displays than u maybe can run a MM as web server build and one as MM2.
If it’s possible to run two different MM2 instances i don’t really know that.
Maybe it’s possible to run a second MM2 at another port!
