@spitzlbergerj hi well done and looks amazing.
Quick question:

1. Can you not glue the mirror using the silicone on the back panel directly? Rather using the groove in the wood? Is it possible?

2. The back panel how is it holding the monitor? I read your comment that you have your back panel cut around the monitor and it fits in perfectly and tightly. How and where did you apply the glue tape ?

3. Finally do you have any distortions of your image from your mirror? Especially around the edges where you have your silicone in the groove and the mirror? Because the blackness of the groove is different from the back panel and as well as the monitor?

Thanks.

@Fozi so I got a new radar sensor set the resistance to 80ohms which would give me around 40 to 50cm detection distance. I am using @cowboysdude script.

My mm is running on my rpi 4b 4g and at present its connected to my TV. However the rada sensor is not working as the script is meant to detect motion and if there is no motion it would turn the tv off after 20 seconds. I tried many times but have failed.

Any ideas? Or maybe my sensor is not working. Is there a simple script that I could test the sensor?

Thanks.

@Fozi Hi
Can i solder pin 1 and 2 of the resistor to the radar sensor? I accidentally broke pin no 3.

Amazing @BreakBeatJunkie well done. Do you mind sharing the components and how you put everything together please?

Thanks.

@schlachtkreuzer6 how do you change the image? In which folder is the image?

@sdetweil I had to add the following in my config.txt and it works now.

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=81

do you mind sharing your /boot/config.txt please?

Also after doing these settings the raspberry pi doesnt connect to wifi.

Its a disaster this rpi 4 tbh

@sdetweil hi quick question… so i connected my raspberry pi 4 4gb to hdmi o but there is no display ? do i need to do some settings? my raspberry pi doesnt display anything? is that normal for raspberry pi 4?

@sdetweil ok I will try it when I get home mate. Thanks.

@sdetweil ok so I will install like everyone else i.e. server and browser on the same machine. Thanks for sorting my head on that.

Now with regards to the install script I do not need to follow this link (https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror) to autostart magicmirror? as you said thats all taken care in the install script? Am i correct? or?

@sdetweil said in (electron:2910): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:16:40.324: cannot open display: :0:

the mirror is run without a display (server only), and some browser somewhere is used to
access the ‘web server’

you might do 2 where u want to provide Mirror access to multiple systems but don’t need it where the pi is installed…

ok makes sense. I normally access the mirror by port forwarding my raspberry pi on port 8080 and thats how I can access it on different machines or at work. And I like it that way to be fair. Because eventually my raspberry pi 4 will be inside the 2 way mirror running the Magic Mirror software.
