OH I agree!! Sounds like you are on the same road I am… @strawberry-3-141 helped me today… there is a module but I wanted it to do something a little bit different so I tried my hand at tweaking it… I was close but he showed me the error and it works now! HUGE Thanks @strawberry-3-141 by the way!!
I don’t know if you realize this and some don’t … some of the people building stuff and helping us all out don’t even have mirrors!!! THAT is utterly and mind blowing amazing!!!
The 32" will be a while :) Yes honestly I was really thinking laptop motherboard… quieter can get smaller power supplies to run them :) OR a mini ITX you can use laptop power supplies on some of them too!
So in a nutshell I’m waiting on an open source thermostat that runs the heating/cooling and is wifi AND bluetooth… then I’ll get to building the actual mirror itself… [MY parents have a 40" TV they don’t want or need soooooooooo LOL]…
Welcome and I’m glad you’re here… learning is awesome and it can be fun!
Thanks to @MichMich , @ianperrin , @strawberry-3-141 and all the other developers!!! Too many to mention!

Hi All,
I’m Shonari. I’m 34 and live in Brooklyn, NY. I work at a startup building cellphone charging kiosks. Love to make and have a new found affinity for Raspberry Pi. Made a MagicMirror last December and recently decided to upgrade it to a Pi3 and MagicMirror2. Love the modules. Thanks to all those who contribute their time to this great project.Cheers,

Hello everyone,
I’m Alex and I’m from Bavaria :).
Yesterday i have finished the hardware and building stuff of my first magic mirror. I like this project very much and I absolutely appreciate the work of the developers for the great software and modules!

Hi everyone,
I am Joseph (23) from Potsdam, Germany and study software engineering (almost finished). When I saw this project, I knew I wanted a mirror, and when the basic hardware was working, I started messing up other people’s modules with my wild ideas. :D Gonna post some pictures of the mirror, in the present your mirror section soon.
Then I implemented a few modules on my own and there is so much I still want to do, but so little time.
Hopefully I will present the project (both hard- and software) at my university and see if I can inspire more people to join in, and build an amazing Magic Mirror.
Best regards, Joseph
P.S.: Anyone living in the Berlin / Brandenburg area, my VBB module is hopefully ready for the public soon (unfortunately not yet).

Hi, I’m Dominic, 42 yrs old, married with one 2,5 years old boy and a 1,5 year old twin couple (girl and boy).
We live in Berlin, Germany.I learned about the original magic mirror from a friend and started crawling for information. That’s about a year ago.
After a while I intensified my search and since my wife and children are in my wife’s country for some months, I had time for this project.
Well, at least I thought I have enough time.
You know: “If a man says that he will do it, he will! You don’t have to remind him every 6 months.” :D
Now they are soon coming back and I have a deadline.
Module assembling is as finished as it can be - always new cool mods that need to be tested ;) - and I go for the hardware.This project - the magic mirror - is really great. Probably the best idea I found on the web for a good while.
For me the mirror will be the main info board, a family calender to plan the days and weeks when the kids going to anniversaries, hobbies and other appointments. Shopping list etc.I really like the community. It is a very good size. The communication is very friendly. The input and ideas are great.
Unfortunately I’m not a programmer. So the best I can do is to have an idea that hopefully one of you guys like too.cheers

Exactly.
I wanted a mirror since January, and finished around June. :D

Hi all,
I’m Katherine Vann from Canada. I’m a newbie here and I would like to share my thoughts and ideas with you all. Also I would like to get opinions from you all. -
Hi i’m Dirk from Germany. I’m 35 years old and an application engineer for laser marking systems in industries.
Collecting a lot of hobbies such as Modding, Networking, Renovation, Garden, building things in general.
It was very nice to get in touch with the Magic Mirror Project and started to build my first. Searched a very long time for a good place that it can be a part of our daily life. Found it a couple of month later and resulted in an InWall Mirror. Will be completed soon! :D
Nice to be here!

Hi everyone,
I am Jake Huang 42 from Taoyuan, Taiwan, a barcode scan engine sales in Taiwan and China.
Thanks for the Magic Mirror project and all module authors, I am finding customized f/w panels and parts for it for my new house. I will build a big and wide mirror in the living room with multiple RPI and Apple TV(for photo slideshow only, can’t find better than it) behind mirror use motion detection to control panels and ac power.
Hoping that my idea could be achieved :)Best regards,
Jake
