@sdetweil - thank you very much for your prompt response. I have not learned about curl commands yet ( although i know i have copied and pasted one during installation of modules.
Are you able to point me towards an example or a good page that i may be able to lean the relevant things quickly please.
I am using a raspberry pi 4. I have a radio frequency transmitter attached to one of my GPIO pins and I am using running a python script through the terminal to send a command that will turn on/off and change the colour of my led lights. (See link below). I have said these files in my MagicMirror folder.
Is it possible to use custom commands to do this? If so can you help me understand how. Attached are the shell files that are executable and work( when i double click the files in desktop mode - the lights change). How do i link this to MMM-Remote-Control or do the same action in MMM-Remote-Control?

With the new capable RPi 4 (esp 4gb and 8gb) I wonder if it would be possible to do video calls on the MM
@sdetweil - what does it mean to ‘fork’ it?
@Sean is this using OBD II? I was thinking of looking for similar modules - something to tell me how much fuel is left in the car. How do you get OBD to communicate to the mirror?
@esilfies what have you learnt? What do you wish you’d known before starting. I am about to start a 23" mirror too and hoping it won’t take me too long.
@ryck , yes please a photo will be helpful, just to illustrate.
Also - was the visibility in the film ok? or was it too transparent?
@joeben said in Wooden frame with 24" screen:
Since I wanted to avoid to see the screen behind the mirror, the visible si
I am also looking to create a mirror that is the same size as my 23" monitor (for the same reason as you - so that the monitor is not visible. Did you get the glass cut to be the exact same size or was it a few mm larger?
