…I realize most here aren’t American but I’d really enjoy the NFL scores on mine as well… when I get time I’ll look at it…

As a fellow USA resident and die hard Cowboys fan, I am eagerly awaiting news on your NFL module. I’m hoping to use it as a roadmap to also display current team news. As my wife is a die hard Redskins fan, (I know, I know), I’m hoping to tie face recognition in so it shows me Cowboys stuff and shows her Redskins stuff.

I’m just starting on it. :) I like your face recognition idea!!! Awesome!

Quick question…

The module I’m trying to create [that I already have in php] … I know I can call it from a py script just have NO clue about py so any help here would be great!!

Thank you!

Hey guys my name is John and I’m 53 and from Upstate NY [about 5 hours away from NYC]…

I like to try new things that I have NO experience with such as programming, etc. So I would say that the help I’ve gotten here and the learning I’m getting is priceless to me.

I was looking for a ‘Magic Mirror’ that I could install and there are a few out there… I found this one and feel in love with it instantly. Now I have people asking me all the time ‘can you build me one?’… I tell them I can but you can also build one yourself… I am not, nor will I ever try to profit from others work because I think when someone makes something and ‘donates’ it others should not benefit from it like that.

I thought at one time of using my RPI3 to build a ‘car stereo’ but found that there was little to no help … so I found an image that was in German and helped get it translated over into English so that other could use the software to create their own… so now there’s an English version floating around on my google drive for people.

I am always glad to help others if I can. This is what this is all about and I really appreciate the hard work that’s been done!! I’m going to try to port an NFL scoreboard over that I wrote in PHP for a joomla module on my website… why? I don’t know… I’m hoping to learn something from it!

Well first thing you do is take a deep breath… ;)

Second take some time and read through the forum here. There are step by step instructions and enough how to’s to get you rolling quicker then you think.

IF you run into an issues just google the issue one at a time and the answers are out there… trust me, I was once new too now I can set this up in about 30 minutes… I’m talking from installing the OS to installing the mirror…

You’ll see in no time you’ll be good at it! :)

On another note what this one can do far outweighs ‘paying’ for one. You are limited to what they want you to have where with this one it can be modified, updated and personalized to far better extremes…

So I’d like to Thank you ALL for the hard work and would rather be here doing this than anywhere else.

People will always steal ideas from others but like I said in the end this one will far outshine anything retailers can come up with.

OH and where can I download it from? Thank you!

VERY nice with this I think you have solved a few issues for me! :) I wrote a module for my joomla site and was looking for a way to use it here [NFL Scoreboard] but since this will do the httprequest I can pick apart my module and use the parts with this and it should work!! Bravo!!

HUGE Thank you!

I’m holding off on the facial recognition until I can figure out how to use in conjunction with pir sensor to turn mirror on and off…

@desq I’m not using the mmm-PIR I’m using something else… BUT I do know from reading that it wasn’t working with node V6… you had to roll back to V5.

I still had trouble with v5 so I went with something else…

I have written and NFL Score module for joomla [my site] but have NO clue about writing anything in js and these files would have to be rewritten.

It’s either that or add php to your pi setup…

So if anyone is interested in doing this or helping greatly I will be happy to share what I have
