      Hi everyone,
      I’m a new user and I apologize if this isn’t the right section.
      I was wondering if there’s a chance to make the magic mirror work on the new raspberry pi 3 b+. I just ordered the new version with the idea ok making my mirror but I don’t know how to start.
      Hope you can help me.

        Hi,

        You can start with setting up your raspberry pi first and arrange a screen (with HDMI) so that you can start the software part.

        This tutorial will help you setting up the raspberry pi in headless mode - (Without Ethernet cable & Monitor)

        Secondly, i recommend adding a fan to your pi, because Rpi 3b+ heats up a lot.

        Once you pi is ready with a fresh copy of Raspbian install MM & pm2

        Configure your modules… and you are ready to go !

        For hardware portion of the mirror you can take idea of my Frameless mirror !

            @lehoang A Pi 3b+ is totally sufficient and probably 90% of all MMs use it. Then apply @sdetweil script and you’re in the game.

              I have made a video tutorial about how to install MM application using @sdetweil scripts. I have also tried to explain the module configurations ! Hope it would help you…
