I didn’t take many pictures of the process.

Took a little longer than I planned because I had to reorder a thicker mirror. If you order from amazon go with the 3mm unless you want a funhouse mirror.

Pi zero $5 (micro center)
Parts for pi $18 (Amazon 8 in 1 makerspots)
Plexiglass $35 (Amazon 12x24 3mm)
Mirror body $8 (goodwill)
Misc plywood and fasteners ~$20
VGA to HDMI $8 (Amazon)
TV $20 (goodwill)

Not sure where you are located, but I am in the US and have used this comapny: https://www.amazon.com/12-Acrylic-See-Through-Mirror/dp/B017ONH3EG/ref=sr_1_1?m=A25VKIYYECJBLT&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1487807733&sr=1-1
and can definitely recommend them. I’ve bought both the 1mm and 3mm and would suggest the 3mm. I’ve found a supplier for full sheets (48"x96") for $202 where I live.

@cowboysdude I’m a little biased when it comes to beach towns as I’m originally from Southern California, but all in all its a nice little place.

If you have a chance you should really hop over to New Orleans the next time you’re down here. It’s only like a 6 hour drive.

Your prices seem a little high especially with the sizes that you sell. Acrylic would be much more practical for 12x24 and there’s several plastics stores that sell them on the west coast for a decent price.

360 or xone kinnect? Definitely interested as I have a 360 version sitting around doing nothing.

Just got my mirror in the mail today. Seems like it took forever and a day to get here to the US, but it’ll work. Probably won’t buy another one but that’s because I have other options that can get them to me faster.

@roramirez Nice! Worked perfect. Thank you.

@Cato I’m running it on a zero, so no pm2 sadly. I’m going to try another fresh install on another SD card on another zero when I get home from work today and see if I can reproduce it or if it’s just a weird hiccup.

@leadfarmer router has the address reserved

Still no dice. It’s weird. Literally nothing changed config wise. Just the SD card. The mirror works, and I can get to it via ssh. For some reason though I can’t get to it in a browser from any other computer on my network.

I picked up a new SD card today, and did a clean install from scratch on my wife’s mirror. Now all of the sudden I am having problems connecting via port 8080 from any other device. I downloaded all of the modules that were on the old SD and literally copy/pasted the config.js so I’m not sure what got broken in the transition. Here is the whitelist rule:

var config = {
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:192.168.1.1/120", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],

	language: 'en',
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: 'imperial',

I mostly pillage pawnshops and thrift stores for my displays. I take what I can get and make it work. I usually never spend more than $30 for a display unless I’m doing something large for someone.

Yeah, ugly development work is not for me. I saw someone on reddit that setup an apache server on the pi and hooked it up to their tablet, but you can still see the notification bar and all of that crap at the top.
