<![CDATA[My Magic "Mirror" Desk Display]]>Hey all! I wanted to share my finished Magic “Mirror” display project, which as you can see is not a mirror but a display sitting at my desk in my office. It changes to a different screen every 60 seconds, displaying different information based on the “theme” of that particular page. I can also tap the dots on the bottom middle of the screen to change to any page at any time. The first picture shows how it looks on the display (pardon the glare), the rest are screenshots from the RPI4 itself so you can see the content better. The back shows the RPI4 mounted, along with the case it is in. Details below. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!

Which version of Raspbian do you run in your RPI?

Take a look at the MMM-ISS-Map-src.js file located in /MagicMirror/modules/MMM-ISS-Map:

b6166e4a-71d1-4103-aa7f-17352dd7138f-image.png

Note that you can change “light_all” and other configurable style options to those supported by CARTO basemaps.

See:
https://github.com/CartoDB/basemap-styles

In my testing with my MagicMirror setup, “light_all” looks best, but def check out the other styles to see what meets your needs!

One question: in “mapUrl” excluding the (x, y) coordinates, how did you compose the url?

Many thanks!

I did sent @Ashaman a DM though with my config to help him

Definitely try his fork!

In fact, every module I built myself is for that exact reason…

I needed to display data from my own datasets and API not supported in existing modules, kinda had to make them myself then? I do it to learn more coding.

I have a question for you: could you share the config for the “MMM-ISS-Map” module? I tried reading the developer’s instructions but I didn’t understand much…

Thanks!

Mine takes time though, because so far I’ve only added custom modules I make myself. 😅
Need to start implementing more premade modules. 😂

Is MMM-Pages working for you?
I tried to use it the first week I was new to MM and had problems, so I’m currently using MMM-Carousel.

I was trying to figure out the best way to do organize them. I have some other modules configured too, but currently have them disabled for various reasons. For example, MMM-NFL is enabled only during American Football season. MMM-CivitAI was used on page 9 instead of MMM-PenPlotter, but that one appears to be having API issues, so I had to come up with a replacement.

I enjoy checking every week or so for new modules to add. Definitely a fun project and super helpful community!

Thank you for inspiration on how to organize a bunch of modules in a good way!
