27" Mirror with selfmade frame

kruemel

@onkelbobby Hi, thank you :-)

I just mounted the sensor on a piece of wood behind the glass (to reduce the range a little bit without a tresistor) instead of directly behind the glass.

If you need i can make a picture but i think the illustration should do the job ;-)

@kruemel which bits did you use to cut the wood.

Looks like you started with a 2x4, cut into a L shape with a ledge, put a smaller strip of wood to hold the mirror and display in.

its nicely done so i was curious.

I just picked up a table saw so i can do a datto cut in wood.

@kruemel
thanks… no need to take pictures…
I’m just wondering why my sensor is no working trough the glass wood combination (Mirropane Chrome Spy 4mm + plywood 5mm)

Anyway, I found another way to mount it almost invisible.

does your myweather module still work?

kruemel

@teegray1124 Yes but i think you mean the “rainfall” amount, when you ask like this ^^
I noticed that it states “nullmm” instead of a number, since a couple weeks.

@jersam Aaaah, now i get your point :D

I started with 2

Douglas Wood 4,5 cm x 200 cm x 7 cm

Cut in the half and to my needed length.
Get rid of the wood i dont need with a wood milling, like this:

…with two different positions to get a “stairway” :-)

Hello @kruemel , is that possible to have the outline dimensions, i’m thinking about building almost the same ? Actually, i don’t know what should be the size of overflow for the mirror, to keep it strong.

Really nice setup :)

kruemel

@max86 Hi Max, sure :-)
Outline is 153cm x 40.3cm for the frame
and visable mirror is 34.3cm

So the overflow in my case should be about ~1.5 to 1.7cm

@kruemel is it possible to make pic for me? Adn, I’ve never been playing with any HW module - how to connect the module? There are some “cables” or I’ve to “create” them?
Thanks, Zdeněk

P.S.: nice job…
