For a while I’ve wanted to make my own mirror and decided to integrate it into a hallway notice board next to the front door.
One of my aims was to try and keep the frame quite low profile, I re-purposed my old Sony Vaio laptop LCD. Set about designing and making the frame.

I decided to make the frame out of Oak.

The software side of things was nice and simple, good to learn some programming along the way to personalise. Just running a few modules at the moment. Will add some more on a timed schedule.
I like the MMM-Todoist Module, I use that to send my mirror messages from wherever I am as reminders.

Here is the finished Mirror
On the left the is the mirror. I made this myself with glass and mirror vinyl. on the right is a matt grey vinyl on glass with a metal sheet behind for use with the wooden magnets I made to match the frame. I can use liquid chalk markers for notes on the glass.

Overusing the masking tape a little.

Next job is to hang it on the wall and hide the wires powering the mirror.

Ah Cool,
Ye, that would be great. Nice addition.

I like this idea. I have 2 different routes to work. Would be good know which way would be best at that time.
Can you modify the config to either use motorways or avoid motorways? or another way you can specify the actual route to work?

I think I found the problem to be a dodgy hdmi cable. I bought a new short hdmi cable so it would be easier to fit behind the mirror. Replaced with my original longer cable and seems to be ok. I will also try npm start dev to see if I get any errors.
Thank you for your reply.

All my modules are hidden and I get a blank screen when MagicMirror loads up.
Was working fine a while ago. Changed to sample config at it does the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Joel
