      @cornusandu said in 22’’ Display + 40cmx50cm IKEA Frame + PIR Sensor:

      @ryck hello. Please, would you consider making a video on installing software steps for morons like me? I manage to install the module but after that I was lost completely. Following the github Magic Mirror pir control hdmi. If you would be kind enough to make that video please consider every step as I am a complete noob and a moron considering raspbian. I was lucky that there are a great number of videos on how to install Magic Mirror otherwise I would never been able to get it done. Thank you very much.

      PS. I do not understand how to install and get it working Magic Mirror Display Control for the PIR

        @cornusandu I don’t think a video will help you, you just need to follow the instructions here: https://github.com/deg0nz/MagicMirror-Display-Controller

        Make sure you you set the path and the the pin variable to the correct values and that’s it.

          @ryck Do you know the model you have been using for this (great) mirror? Probably there is something on ebay…

            @flo You mean the monitor model? I don’t know for sure, I think is a viewsonic, but I’ll try to get the model later…

            But to be honest, anything will do the part, just get anything cheap and start from there :)

              @ryck I just wanted to know the model, because the PIR seems to work well with this model (no input warning when suspending).

                I know this is an old thread, but do you recall what type of glue you used to glue the two frames together? Wood? Super? I can’t quite tell what the frame coating is made of.

                  @poopyurinal Just " No more nails" from unibond, but any wood glue will work. I don’t recommend superglue though…

                    Very nice idea to glue 2 frame ! I haven’t thought about doing that when I created my mirror . That would have save me lot of time !

                    I’ll make my same usual request :) : Can we see the back and inside of your mirror ?

                    Thank you

                    Ejay

                      Hi all.

                      Just starting to get into this magic mirror stuff. Looks great!

                      Anyway, could i ask how you mounted the screen in the two frames?

                      Did you use additional wood to mount the screen on?

                      This is the only bit that’s doing my head in!

                      Cheers.

                      Jonno.

                        @ryck , yes please a photo will be helpful, just to illustrate.

                        Also - was the visibility in the film ok? or was it too transparent?
