<![CDATA[Himself's first Mirror]]>Hi! I thought it was time to show my mirror to you guys.
I started to do my MM about a year ago and have update it with time. Im going to make another one with better design and more moudles and functions. But here we have it.

About 4-5mm thick and got all parts more hidden on the backside.
Learn from my mistakes. Use a better Laptop screen than mine (it bleads lightning badly).
But as a first project I am very happy with it.

@Knox Ah, that’s new. I am just buying a new VGA converter from “The Pi hut” in hope that it will work better. Otherwise I will try that one!
Yea I use a regular dongle, cheap one

I assume you’re using a dongle style hdmi to vga converter?

@yawns The reason for the red text is that my HDMI->VGA converter is bad and made the whole screen green, So I removed all green colour from the RGB settings and therefore the red texture… x) I am going to buy a better converter. :)

sssh, try selling your “bug” as a feature :)

I haven’t tinkered with my colors… still working on some different features… right now just installed the camera so I can get rid of that annoying PIR sticking out the side LOL
