Hi All

I’ve just hooked up my PIR sensor to my Pi3

I ran a variant of this, and it was constantly detecting movement even when I was covering it up, so nothing should have been detected.

Is there an issue with my sensor? Or is that standard? Or can I turn down the sensitivity in some way?

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(3,GPIO.OUT)     #Define pin 3 as an output pin

while True:
        GPIO.output(3,1)   #Outputs digital HIGH signal (5V) on pin 3
        time.sleep(1)      #Time delay of 1 second

        GPIO.output(3,0)   #Outputs digital LOW signal (0V) on pin 3
        time.sleep(1)      #Time delay of 1 second

@mochman I’m a complete amateur here mate

I’ve got this far, but no idea what to do next :(

I didn’t understand in the readme what it meant by pins etc.

@evos how big is the acrylic?

I’ve seen on larger sizes the image reflected becomes distorted

@Phate I’ve drawn my idea on the back of a scrap of paper, my dad is gonna draw it up for me

Once I’ve got it, I’ll share it here

@strawberry-3.141 nice one!

I’ll wait for that to be released, then I can compare both before committing to one.

On to building my frame now

@strawberry-3.141 Thanks I’ll look to do that

Have you shared your solution?

@strawberry-3.141 Is there any way of registering without social media?

@alexyak

I’m in work at the moment, so can’t look in detail…

Are the only commands play/stop music?

@ronny3050 Thanks for your reply

Will I get any kind of intellisense in the IDE?

Also, do I develop on the Pi itself or can I do develop/test on my Windows machine?

What do you develop your modules in?

A text editor, or is there some IDE I should look to use?

I’ve got to start somewhere, so I’m going to pick at one of the existing modules to see what the score is

@alexyak Looking forward to seeing that!

Hi,

Does anyone have any tutorials or diagrams for how they built their frame, along with how to fix the glass/monitor?

I’m coming to the build phase now, so I’m struggling to picture how I would do this.

Thanks

This is going to be my next project.

GameBoy Zero!

Hi All,

Is there a way to install Pi Music box in the background, without having to put the whole image on my memory stick and overwrite what I’ve got for my MM?

Or is it worth just putting Music box on first, then installing the mirror?

I want to be able to play music through it as well as use it as a mirror.

Thanks

How are you controlling the backlight?

Could you share how this is done, please?

I really like the idea of the work you are looking to do.

For me, voice recognition is something I’m really keen on having.

Does it have to be just for the mirror though? I’d want to use it more for playing media etc, as well as be able to control the mirror

“Mirror play my playlist”

I’m really impressed, and I’m keen to see what you can do from your list!

Good Luck

@tyho Not a clue

@KirAsh4 will know

Hi @KirAsh4 , has this developed any further?

The initial screenshots looked great!

@tyho It would be good to see what you’ve done, if you could post a tutorial or something

@ecco-mirror What voice commands are you using if you don’t mind me asking?
