Hey everyone!

I’m currently working on a fun project combining MagicMirror² and stepper motors. The idea is to build a smart mirror with physical movement — think rotating displays, hidden compartments, or even a mirror that tilts to greet you!

I’m using a Raspberry Pi 4 running MagicMirror² as the base. The stepper motor (28BYJ-48 + ULN2003 driver) is controlled via Python using the RPi.GPIO library. I’ve written a simple script that listens for certain triggers (like time of day or gesture input via a PIR sensor), and then moves the motor accordingly.

Next step: I want to connect the motor control to a MagicMirror module, so it can react to weather changes, calendar events, or face detection.

Has anyone here tried combining physical components (motors, servos, etc.) with MM modules? Would love to hear your experience or ideas!
