-
Hello Everyone
My Mirror Project is already finished since a couple months, but i had no “time”
to post it here.First, thank you very much @MichMich and @j.e.f.f for this amazing Idea and the modules i can use for this.
It’s a pleasure to stand up in the morning, looking on the screen to see the traffic, calender and weather information in this esthetic manner
The screen is always off until the radard sensor detects motion in front of the display.
I used Douglas wood because its cheap and has intresting visual structure ^^

Very nice build! What are the transmission values for your mirror? Have the Mirropane Chrome Spy with 8% and I am not too happy about it. The modules aren’t easy to read when it’s bright. Even in the night when I just turn on the light.

Would interest me as well.
Also, your mirror seems very cheap! (and that in SWITZERLAND :-))
-
Thanks
Its 12% and 4mm thickThey have 1, 12, 20, 30 and 40%

Thank you very much. I saw they are also in Germany. I will call them up tomorrow and ask for prices for the mirror and for shipping. If it’s really that cheap I will order one with 12% and with 20% transmission and see which one fits best.

How far does your radar detector detect through the glass?
-
Excellent work. That looks great!

@maxbachmann
Its in the middle behind the thick wood and it detects at least 4m. (would be more if there would be no wood, just the glass
Due to the position across from my wardrobe thats fine but if the range is too faar for detection it would be possible to reduce it with a resistor.
