      Hi Guys,

      i nearly finished my mirror.

      Shopping List:
      Frame 10€?
      Mirror 100€
      RaspberryPi 2
      Wireless Stick 5€
      Display Controller and powersupply from ebay ~30€
      Display 1280x800 from old notebook 0€
      Step Down Regulator from ebay 2€
      PIR Sensor from ebay 2€
      50cm HDMI cable 3€
      some little stuff ~5€

      I build this mirror on a CLAA154WB05AN display out of a Sony VAIO VGN-FZ31J notebook. Unfortunately it’s a glare display, which is not the brightest, but its working so far. For powering the raspberry i used a step down regulator, which is regulating the 12v input power from the display powersupply to 5v for the rasp.

      For the controller switches i drilled some holes in to the frame and extended the switches with m4 plastic screws to reach out of the frame.

      Some pics:





      Regards
      Alex

          Hi,

          the glas is 4mm.

          Inside of the ribba frame is a kind of a subframe, which you can see on the seconds picture.

          I removed the subframe, inserted the glas and readded the subframe. Glas + Subframe then have the same height as the preinstalled metal clips to fix the backpanel.
