Just for an update on this, I haven’t pushed this to git yet but the new module will now have a playlist where you can scroll through and choose which song to play.

I’m also looking to make the volume scroll ball bigger, so it’s easier to grab. If you saw my demonstration video you can see I had a little bit of trouble grabbing it. Still working on this one though, as I want the size of the ball to remain the same visually but the actual to be larger. Unfortunately though, margin doesn’t seem to detect the dragging event.

@nobiryu Hello! Please see this post.

@KirAsh4 Haha I know that feeling!

@KirAsh4 haha alright go for it! Let us know what comes of it.

@KirAsh4 I did the manual install for mine anyways, but I could have sworn I did an update / upgrade but I may be wrong.

Maybe it’s something that can just be added to the install instructions as a small note.

@KirAsh4 as a note on this reply, Alt + F2 (I think) will bring up the run dialog box from which you can launch lxterminal.

As an update to my situation, I was able to get mine working by installing electron dependencies.

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libnotify4 libgconf2-4 libnss3

I am running a pi 3 with Jessie by the way.

FYI @MichMich @paviro

Anyone have recommendations for speakers for the pi? USB Powered preferred and also pretty small in size.

I plan on putting them inside my enclosure, since my mirror will also play music, so I would like something pretty small but also decently loud.

Looking at something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Earise-AL-101-Computer-Speakers-Powered/dp/B00CXLCMGY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465176203&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+powered+speakers+mini

@KirAsh4 Yeah that was kind of my idea to too.

@KirAsh4 Solid advice! I’m not sure how I would actually go about doing that for this particular cable though… let me show you what I’m working with here lol.

It’s a pretty short cable haha. Of course, it does have a USB controller and other cables that actually run to the pi. I will be sure to secure those as well though.

@KirAsh4 Haha basically. It works in my case though, as long as the connection stays secure, since this will be inside my enclosure anyways (once I get around to making one ;)).

Hey it looks really nice! That poor mirror film though haha.

I followed this guide to do my touch panel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B22QdNHtb_8&ab_channel=TAPPlastics

Mine turned out okay afterwards https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/166/eof-s-touch-screen-magic-mirror-testing-phase

@KirAsh4 Hi! I was actually able to get this working again (with some help). I tried a bunch of different things to avoid soldering because of the plastic on the ribbon, but I got to a point to where I said “whelp, it’s already broken so might as well just go for it” and believe it or not, it works now! I had to remove some of the plastic to expose the copper wire on both sides of the split, but then after that the solder completed the circuit and it’s working fine again.

I also went ahead and electric taped the hell out of the connector where the split was before so that this doesn’t happen again. Some heat shrink wrap was also applied for an extra layer of security :p

@cyberphox Yeah this is a major snag for me. I’ve read up on some conductive ink pins that might do the trick repairing this. If it turns out that it doesn’t though… looks like I’ll be ordering a new panel :/

However, when the touch screen was working, it was working pretty good! Even better than on the demo video in my original post (which was on a windows machine).

There is some tricky calibration stuff you have to do to get it to play nice with the pi though.

@MichMich Hi! I am running npm start directly on the pi, and I get the same exact error.

@cyberphox http://www.aliexpress.com/item/21-5Inch-Resistive-Touch-Screen-Panel-490x285mm-4Wire-USB-kit-for-21-5-monitor/32429848194.html

But I have a major problem now… The ribbon that connects to the display has a tear in it. I assume it got twisted the wrong way. This really puts a major halt to my project unless I can somehow repair it.

Hi I am having this same issue. Did you ever get it working?

Title.

Can’t really figure out why this is the case… I simply plugged in the panel (connects via USB) and it worked without me installing any drivers or anything.

Of course, the calibration was way way off, so I used xinput_calibrator to calibrate it and it seems to work pretty well.

Just curious as to what is going on here. I installed raspbian Jessi on this pi. Maybe the drivers are included in that distro? This was the minimum install by the way.

Does anyone know why it worked plug and play?

@Rahansen Hello! One of my own modules here.

Very simple module. Hides everything on your screen so you can see your reflection with no text.

Togglable, click it to fade out, click it again to fade back in.

As usual with my modules, you will need to be able to click for it to work. No voice activation or anything like that, although I would love to implement it if we had a way to do so.
