    • Paul's frameless MM- finally done :)

      Dear guys,
      I am finally done with my first MM2- project.
      Thank you very much for your great support and ideas to finish this project.

      There are only a few things left to work on:

      • fix some errors with the DHT22-sensor
      • find a GitHub module which shows the whole month with every iCal-entry. Also find the right positioning for it. I would like to position it in the Top/middle space (not top_bar, Ive tried it already :D ).
      • enable wifi-connection. This hunts me since several months :D I still have no clue where the error is and how to fix it.
      • find a Github module which enables me to send push -up notifications to the mirror. e.g. a friend goes into my room, looks a the running mirror and the mirror says something like "Hello XY, my name is Henry. It’s nice to meet you, you fag :D )

      Best regards, Paul
      You will find attached to this topic a few pictures.

    • Paul's second mirror :)

      Dear fellow MM-builders,
      I would like to show you the build to my second MagicMirror.
      Unfortunately the glas broke during a move to another city, so I decided that it was time for a second try.

      This time I used following parts:

      • picture frame Ribba from IKEA 50cm*70cm
        –> it includes a neat passepartout which was useful to hide some of the cracks in the mirror
        -24" monitor Acer KA241bid
        –> a cheap monitor which is also very thin and has a HDMI output

      • then I 've cut some of the parts of my old mirror which weren’t cracked
        –> I used a glas cutting tool and watched a lot of DIY youtube videos on how to cut glas, because I not such a craftsman :-D

      • If you want a more cheap solution instead of buying an actual mirror, you can use the Polycarbonat plat which is included in the Ribba frame from IKEA and use silver reflection folie

      • a short HDMI cable

      • for wifi connection I used the CSL - 300 Mbit/s USB 2.0 WLAN
        –> you just have to install the software from CSL (raspberry Pi needs a LAN connection) after that its super easy :)

      • a wall mount

      • wood from the local store as well as screws

      • male to female wires

      • a DHT22-Sensor as well as a PIR sensor

      I was a lot of fun putting it all together and doing a little bit of programming by myself.
      As always, you guys helped me a lot in doing so!

      Thank you very much :)

      thanks to your awesome help, I was able to complete the my first step of installing and running the MM without problems on my TV.
      Thanks so much! :)
      This made my day :D I am completely happy.

    • RE: [Remote-Control] Shutdown, Configure and Update your MagicMirror

      @strawberry-3-141 @Jopyth Thank you very much for your help.

      My error was following one:

      “https://192.168 …”

      Now, I ve fixed it in “http://192.168 …”

      –> It’s the small things that matter, I guess :D

      Thanks a lot.
      @Jopyth I love it :-) Well done!

    • RE: Unable to install dependencies, NPM install not working

      @cpramhofer I did everything from the scratch :-D

      1. Reformation the SD Card
      2. Copying the Software to the SD Card.
      3. Installing everything
      4. Installing the MM2 Software via the link on Michaels website

      –> Conclusion: No no problem more :D
