Should I Customise the Modules or?
-
All sorted now thanks, found and added the relevant text to the Config.js file to display Aussie weather, holidays and news feed. No module fiddling required.
Now to buy a Zero W to do it all again and actually build the mirror itself.
Thanks for the help, direct or otherwise. If anyone needs help to swap to Aussie displayed info, by all means ask.
Cheers,

If you can manage to get a Pi 3B instead, you won’t be disappointed. It has twice the RAM and a CPU that is a bit more robust.
My $0.02USD

Thanks Mykle,
I have a 3B+ that I was using for this test flight, I was just trying to keep the costs down.
A 3B in Oz is RRP $A52.36 vs the Zero W at $A14.96
Do I need the extra RAM and CPU power for the Magic Mirror?
Thanks for your advice and especially your guide for the manual install, it worked flawlessly.
Cheers,

It just depends on the modules or how many modules you are planning to use…
The modules that rely on pics and images, or video, or music, or streaming will need all the RAM and CPU you can get!

Thanks Jim,
I’m just building the basic, text only MM so the Zero should be fine. If not it’ll make a good weather station and I’ll swap it with a Pi 3.
Cheers,
Rob
