        @paulofernandesjr a laptop monitor might be complicated to connect a Pi to. Most of use just use a simple desktop monitor and remove it’s housing :)

        We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

            nice!
            Another question, what do you think about install a small monitor on the top of the mirror?
            Thanks

              @paulofernandesjr, you can install your monitor any which way you want, it’s your project to build and customize. If that’s the easier path to go, then by all means, go with it. Displaying MM on a regular monitor without a two-way mirror in front of that is perfectly fine. My development setup is exactly that, a 27" monitor rotated vertically sitting on my desk with an rPi connected to it. You can just as easy take a 7" Lilliput monitor and stick it ON an existing mirror.

              A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?
