<![CDATA[Which solution for touching screen?]]>Hello everyone,

Could someone advise me which hardware to use to make a touch Magic Mirror? Not too small, idealy 21 to 23 inches.

E.g infrared frame overlay, or an idea of a monitor brand which provides touch screens compatible with a Raspberry 4 and the Magic Mirror solution?

I bought a iiyama ProLite T2252MSC-B2 touch screen, but as I tried it, the touch function was finally not compatible with Raspberry and it was only working in the landscape mode… I did not realise it before buying it…

Thank you for your advise and sharing you experience about this topic.

Looking forward to reading you,

Kind regards,

Cedric

Option "TransformationMatrix" "0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1"

or similar in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf …

hello @rkorell, wenn you tested your Hannspree Touch monitor, did you have to change any parameter on the raspberry, so that the “touching points” work?
On mine, it is working fine in landscape mode, but in the portrait mode, the points are “mirrored”, so that it is impossible to use it without parametring that. Thank you in advance, Cédric

I will then test it and send it back if it does not work.

I will inform you in any case whether if was successful or not.

Kind regards,

Cédric

Bckground: If in feasible distance I could send you my Hannspree Display for testing purposes …

Warm regards,

pageindicator circles are buttons/links , you can change the image thru css
see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/118877

so, if the display sends touch events, the browser will react
i do not know the hardware

Hello @rkorell , and thank you for your advise!

My mirror should be just a monitor without any reflecting surface, using MMM-Pages and MMM-page-indicator.

@sdetweil and @edward-shen : do you think your modules MMM-Pages and MMM-page-indicator should work with a kind of “Hannspree Touch monitor” or IR-Frame, without using a mouse? Can you please advise me?

Thank you in advance and best regards.

Cédric

I had tried a Hannspree Touch monitor which worked out of the box with Raspian OS - without any driver installation.
So it should work with MagicMirror as well.
Video is connected via HDMI and touch is realized via USB.

I do not use it for my MagigMirror - it‘s to small for my use-case.

If you really want to realize a MIRROR keep in mind that every capacitative touch functionality will NOT work behind a reflecting surface.
For this use case you have to consider IR-Frames around your mirror.
If you just want to use the monitor - fine …

Ralf
