24" Frame Mirror
-
@sharmstr they have nice mirrors (wanted to buy one until I saw the shipping costs lol)
-
@maxbachmann I’m guessing you’re not in the states then :) I paid $19 for shipping. The mirror itself is expensive, but they are really really nice.
-
@sharmstr do you know the wavelength of your IR Frame? ^^
Yes Germany makes it over 100$ I like them because they are pretty much the only you could use with touch foils under the glass -
-
@sharmstr No checked that then will contact them ;) in my build the frame would be bigger than the hole in the mid of my frame. So this gap does not fill with dust I would like to fill it but obviously should not filter the infrared ^^ Thought about pmma casting resin because that would fill it nicely and filters until around 400nm and then again above 2800nm. So I guess it should work :face_with_tears_of_joy:

It looks like it’s going to be amazing. I just joined here and I keep coming back to your setup. I would really, really love to see a build process once you get it done. The IR frame interests me the most if it works reliably.
-
@sharmstr I see everyone using IR Frames. What makes them better than putting a touchfoil on the mirror? does that screw anything?
-
@maxbachmann I didnt even think about the dust. Hmmmm.
@Bakuretsu Thank you. I’ll post pics of the process. I started messing around with MM last year. At the time the voice stuff ran really slowly so that’s why I wanted the IR frame. Now with the new RPi 3 model B+ that was just released, the voice integration is fairly quick. Having fingerprints on the mirror gets to be annoying so I may remove it all together or at least make sure none of the touch related functions are in the middle of the mirror. Stay tuned :)

I cant answer that. Its just the route I went. Maybe the foil gives the mirror a bit of a fun house effect? I have no idea really.

@sharmstr yes I thought that aswell especially because everyone uses the Frame
