How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero)
-
I have MM2 running quite well on my Pi3 but I’d like to free up the Pi3 and use my zero for the MM2. Has anyone seen any real downsides to using the Pi Zero over the Pi3?
-
@Mar compared to the Pi3 the processing power is way lower, so from that point of view some modules wouldnt work properly. That said, for the ‘stock’ modules and API driven modules it should all work fine. Besides that the installing process is a bit more difficult as you can read above ;)
-
@Wieber Thanks, I would be using the Button module, PIR sensor module, Wunderlist module, and I want to try adding the Alexa module once i transfer it over to the Pi?
Another thing I was thinking would be to integrate this into my openhab setup to bring in the status of various sensors.
-
I have another question. How could i get into the terminal when the pi goes right into the browser? I cant ssh into it for some reason so is there anyway to exit the browser and go into the terminal?
-
@SebTota Try
CTRL+ALT+F2(note: I have not tried this myself, but it works on other systems I use) -
Yet another question. I tried all other forums but i cant find my answer so I figured id ask here. If i have jessie lite with just the terminal, can I open up a file explorer to copy and paste a folder. I need to copy two folders over but I cant figure out how to do it.
-
@SebTota
cp -r source destination -
Did anyone get
https://github.com/HackerHouseYT/AI-Smart-Mirror
working on a pi zero. I know its made for a Mac but I`ve been trying somethings and cant succeed to replicate it on the Pi 0. People claim they got it working by following those instructions but im lost on how to install ffmpeg. If anyone got it working on the Pi 0 please share how.
-
If i don’t currently have a monitor is there a way for me to test the output of the MM when running on the zero with Raspbian lite via VNC ?
-
@Mar if your running Jessie full you can SSH into the RPI and enable vnc
