      Nein! ;-)

      Lmao, touche =P

      Oh, wow 3 years? That was around the time I started this project… Im sorry to hear about the Giants-- not really, though-- but wanna say that Ima follow you on insta-- easier to talk through there, personally.

        Hello! My name is Andrew, I’m 32 years old and currently living in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. I am an electrical engineer and systems analyst turned patent attorney.

        I recently found your project again and am hoping to make use of it in the coming months. You all have done tremendous work on this project and I look forward to further enhancements.

          So, I am Bernard from South Africa. I have been running my mirror for almost 2 years now and loving it. Remodeled my place last week and now I need to find a new home for my mirror. I am a Systems Analyst by trade and code in my spare time. This is an awesome project and I love helping people on the forum who are facing issues etc. Great project guys.

              Hello!
              I’m Nikola 35, from Croatia.
              I started building a door for my electrical cabinet in my house and decided to integrate MagicMirror into it.
              I’m programming PLC-s, CNC machines, BASIC and arduinos with a lot of help from internet, but I never writen a single line in java and I’m beginner at C++.
              I came searching for help connecting my arduino based solar system management to MagicMirror.

                  No. I registered to this forum a few minutes ago. :)

                    @Kereknjek ok… I would open a topic in the general discussion area

                    I would also see this module… MMM-ArduPort and how to send data from the arduino to the pi…

                    I also had added an http server to my arduino ESP8266 NodeMCU and provided apis for data access as another route, which keeps the devices from having to be physically wired together

                      Greetings,
                      My name is Chris from San Diego, CA. I play hockey, play with tech stuff and work for the Government…oh and I am married and have two kids.
                      I just joined here and I want to build my own Magic Mirror. Is there a ‘starters guide’ somewhere I can use to get going?
                      Thanks in advance!

                        Hi there, I’m Craig. From Scotland and have been thinking about making a margin mirror for a while now. I have got most of my parts together now and am about to start my project which will be slightly different I think or could be a disaster 🙄🙄 we shall see!!

                          There is no single guide, at least not here. What have you done so far? Are you going to be using a Pi? If so, have you successfully installed the latest Raspbian OS on it? If so, you’re one install script away from installing the MM software. :-)

                          I suggest you use the “Troubleshooting” category for further questions. There are plenty of people willing and able to answer all your questions there. Not everyone reads the “Introduce yourself” topic.

                            Hello, my name is Pete from Mesa, Arizona, married for 35 years, father of 3 children and 7 grandchildren. Enjoy electronics/computers as a hobby and found MM to be interesting.
                            I have built the MagicMirror (without the mirror for now) with Raspberry Pi 3 and a 24" monitor and it is working great. Soon to be adding the traffic module and possibly delving into sensors, RingDoor, facial recognition and more!
                            Will post pictures when I get a moment.

                                  Yes, but there are some limitations on the earlier Pi’s. The better the Pi you can obtain, the better the performance and experience you will have.

                                  Personally, I wouldn’t consider anything less than a Pi3 but that is up to the individual user (you).

                                      Hi everyone,

                                      i am Steffen, 34 years old and a software engineer form germany. I build my first smart mirror last year. First i used glancr, but because of alot restrictions it was time to improve and i switched to MagicMirror² . I really like this project. I hope i can make some contributions in near future.

                                          Hehe, the time was right, but i am a bit sad that i can´t use the pi zero anymore. I know about the workaround, maybe i will try it out later, but then i surely need to say good bye to the google assistant.

                                          I like the community driven approach here and it seems that here are some developers from my hometown too :)

                                            Use it for something else. If you move up to the Pi3 or Pi4, or some other more robust board, you won’t be sorry.

                                            but then i surely need to say good bye to the google assistant.

                                            Not if you move up in hardware. MMM-AssistantMk2 is very popular and has great support from @Sean, the author.
