What's the best RasPi to use to make a magic mirror at the moment and why?
-
for voice using, you have to buy a USB Mic (eq 10$)
I use this
-
@Bugsounet and of course for YouTube your monitor/tv needs speakers
-
@sdetweil @Bugsounet I will buy the rpib+. Have you guys developed a mirror of your own? Have you got any experience in this subject?
-
@DiogoSekeira yes, no glass yet. I have pi0, 3, 4, Jetson nano, odroid, Linux, Mac. 5-6 different systems running at once
I support the install and update scripts, see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptsI have developed a few modules, and helped others.
I also watch the forums for folks having trouble
-
@sdetweil ok thank you for the information.
-
@sdetweil @Bugsounet I just happened to find a raspi 4 with 1 G for the same price of a Raspi 3 B+. Now im unsure about wich one is the best option.
-
in all case it will be better than RPI3B+ ;)

I would use a raspberry pi 4 but your need get a good way powering it up as it need a power supple with 3.1 amps
MagicMirror 2
I am using a raspberry pi 3 as it easer to get power to the pi but its up to you which one to go with .
just think of how you going to get right amps to the pi so you only have to use one cable TV Monitor laptop screen with driver board.
when i did my first magic mirror i solder the wire inside an 3amp power plug that fitted into the back of my mirror you could do that with a raspberry pi 4 plug a spur from the main incoming with to your monitor TV etc.anyone have a better way of powering up the pi 4 to tv

ive just come across 2 usb modules (dual usb A, usb A+C) that go inside wall sockets for charging… im going to do a little bit of wiring with this a couple of suitable fuses to power my monitor and the usb A+C module. the module will power my pi4 and a usb speaker. i just have to finalise a few other things before i finish it all up.

Actually you can get an RPI4 for
$35 US 2 gig
$ 55 US 4 gig
$75 US 8 gigor an RPI3
Model A []
Model B [First model]
Model B+ [Final model]They are also working on a 64 bit variant of Raspberr Pi Operating system.
There’s also a Raspberry PI beta that will allow booting from the USB slot.Any of those would work for your mirror.
