@AlejandroV - Just about any screen with an HDMI input can be used. TVs and computer monitors are the screens of choice. You can use a laptop screen, but I believe you have to purchase a controller board to manage the HDMI to screen interface.

If you really want to try something different, you could use a projector.

Looks great! I like how thin you got everything.

@tirando - Two way mirror = one way glass = one way mirror. They’re all synonyms. Much like how flammable and inflammable both mean “no smoking nearby”.

Two way/One way mirrors are both just terms for a mirror that allows a percentage of the light behind it to pass through.

I use black construction paper for the areas of my mirrors that are not covered by a monitor. It’s easy to cut into the appropriate shape and I can punch holes through it for things like camera lenses.

A piece of construction paper the size of your acrylic/glass can have a cutout the size of your monitor pretty easily. I don’t bother with tape or other adhesive to stick it to the glass. I start with a piece the size of the glass and it doesn’t go anywhere.

@potts-mike - Run it from the command line in the /home/pi/MagicMirror folder.

I don’t think so. The infinity mirror is a layer of (front to back) a two-way mirror, LED lights, and a solid 100% reflective mirror. The effect is achieved by some of the light behind the front layer bouncing off the back layer and making its way through the two-way mirror and into your eyes.

The Magic Mirror design replaces that 100% reflective mirror with a computer monitor. You can have one or the other, but not both.

Sigh. All that said… you might get a similar effect with two layers of one-way glass. It won’t be as efficient as a normal infinity mirror, but it might be enough to create something unique.

The design would require two one-way mirror panels with the LED light between them, and a computer monitor backing the last panel. Be warned that the display from the computer monitor will also be replicated like the LED string from the default infinity mirror design. If you’re willing to shell out the cash for two pieces of one-way mirror and build a hybrid infinity mirror from it… more power to you.

@CyruS1337 - The Magic Mirror upgrade process is designed to avoid overwriting your customized configuration settings. In practice, that means that config.js and custom.css files are not overwritten with an update. Any changes you make to those files should persist from one major update to the next. That said… Jesus saves. And he backs up on removable media.

Your compliments module external file should still be in the operating system. You just need to find it and configure the config file to point to it.

That’s… well, that’s a new one.

I hate to say it, but I would recommend a reinstall of the MagicMirror framework. This isn’t pleasant but it can be accomplished in about 30 minutes.

First step: back up your config.js file. Copy it to your /home/pi directory or wherever. Verify that it copied properly.
Second step: write down a list of all of your installed modules.
3rd step: Stop the magic mirror framework. Usually this is pm2 stop all.
4th step: Delete the magic mirror folder. rm -rf /home/pi/MagicMirror
5th re-clone Magic Mirror manually. git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
6th step: install Magic Mirror (this will take a few minutes):

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
npm install

7th step - Install modules: Change to the modules folder: cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules. For each module in your config.js file, find them on GitHub and clone the module. git clone [module url]. Be sure to follow the installation instructions for each module. Some will be easy, some will involve the npm install command, and some will be complex (MMM-FitBit).
8th Step - copy your config.js from backup to the original location in /home/pi/MagicMirror/config.
9th step: run the MagicMirror process and see how she rolls: pm2 start MagicMirror.

I followed the code back to the API it is accessing from the European Central Bank. VND is not a supported currency.

I built a mirror with two monitors in it. I ended up running two separate instances of the Magic Mirror framework. Despite having a PC with the graphics horsepower to do it, I ran into a couple of problems.

You can definitely stretch one mirror over two monitors. If you’re putting the monitors next to each other behind the frame, this will work somewhat. You’ll still have a line of no pixels straight down the middle of your mirror. So long as you don’t put anything in the center fields, this can work.

I attempted to run two instances of the Magic Mirror framework from one device. That also resulted in failure. I could not programatically guarantee that each interface would be displayed on a particular monitor. Sometimes it would double up and both would be displayed on the left monitor, sometimes it would work, and sometimes they would both be in the right monitor.

Now it has two devices running two instances and it works okay. At some point this summer I’m going to add a third monitor and run them all off of their own Raspi.
