Raspberry Pi 3 b+ and Magic Mirror
-
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)

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…
