Can MagicMirror run on other similarily priced hardware?

redink

Raspberry Pi is sold out everywhere. I’d like to build another MagicMirror, but don’t want to shell out $150 to a scalper for the hardware. Can I run this software on anything else?

@redink sure, will run on almost anything

I run on Chromebox w gallium, odroid xu4, Jetson nano, PC w Ubuntu, laptop w windows.
macos, Chromebook w gallium (using camera and mic)

if debian based , or Mac, my install script will figure it out, or I will fix script

@sdetweil, that’s great to know. I will see what I can find.

Hi, I bought my Rasberry Pi 3 B+ last Week at Kiwi Electronics Netherland (www.kiwi-electronics.com), it cost me including shipping about 57,-- Euro.

Maybe this Info can help you.

@N6NG How about running it on a Arduino? If they can be found…

@N6NG

Sorry :-(

@N6NG no, not Arduino…

@sdetweil That would be something, wouldn’t it?

Getting enough backend running on any Arduino based unit (like a Wemos-d1 clone, so it has networking) to run Magic Mirror. Talk about an embedded project!

@BKeyport No wonder you can still by those at a reasonable price… I guess it’s bite the bullet and pay full price for a Pi4 is the only answer…
