24" Frame Mirror

@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

Touchfoil doesn’t work beneath the mirrorglass due to the metallic coating.
Even the mirror supplier that was linked earlier says it has to be an overlay (i.e if you use a foil it should be on another layered glass over the mirror itself)
Touchfoils are basically a sheet of transparent plastic with many really really thin wires running across the surface. Gives you around 98-99% transparency.
