hmmmm yes forgot about that rpi Zero… hmmm that does spark some thoughts…
I wonder if I am allowed to use this software for displaying info in our small business…
Picked up a cheap Nexus 7 tablet recently… 7" I think… still pretty good and lots around… they gave them out with new mobile contracts for a while…
What printer do you have?
Only just got mine a few months ago Flashforge Dreamer… Working way up on longer prints…
Cant wait to try the wood and metal filaments…
I’ve thought about multiple instances myself…
I was thinking a whole bunch of raspberry pi 7’ screens with just one module each spread over a huge window with that film… mmmmmm lol
That would look awesome as a magic mirror
I’d also love and RGB controller module… maybe the seed studios gear might be an easy integrate…
Pi screens might be fairly cheap… probably find 8" I was only thinking the 7" official one for ease compatibility…
I’d LOVE to see this if you manage it…
hahahhaahh
Thinking lighter for sure maybe hmmmm… lol
Its really intended as a pure dashboard… mirror is not important…
By the time I get ALL the modules working that I want then it will be a nearly full screen anyway hahahah
Plus i like the idea of pulling up a second screen if I ever need to…
Still… Test will be in the actual large piece…
While your around and helpful… do you see any dramas with the TV I have… 40" cheap VIANO LED LCD
Will attempt to remove the bezel after and check if the screen is not attached to be able to remove it… Otherwise the glass is close enough to the height of the bezel it may just fit inside bezel nice but to frame it I’ll lose a very small amount of screen space…
Thanks for the advice…
Hard to choose… I think? that I will be able to get away with the lighter stuff…
Not that fussed about the mirror part… just the kewl factor…
I wish now that I had gotten bigger bits to test with to really be able to see but the guy was nice enough to just give me these test bits… I think he even cut them to size as I originally asked when enquired for a size roughly the size of a pi 7" screen…
I’ll take a photo of a normal pic to show colour diff…
Darker one on the left…
I was hoping you might chime in lol :-)
I’ll check and see… whats the chances of a touch monitor working thru the glass… slim to none from my guess lol
Any thoughts…
Both samples have benefits. I have no idea the percentages of light etc…
One… the darker one… Is more mirror like… But is fairly dull and doesn’t let colours show very well
The lighter one is a lot brighter and sharper… I’d almost say you could watch a movie with it… but its not that reflective… I doubt good enough as a normal mirror
I also haven’t tried playing with tv settings yet… Still testing…
Its a little hard to tell by pics but its very noticeable in person… In pics you can see it in the fade outs
Whats everyones thoughts / opinions ?
I use zwave.
I use a Vera server as the main hub. Connects zwave zigbee? Wifi/ip and a few other devices
Vera handy as it takes care of the automation side of things. And collects all data like power usage data.
It also intergrates with a lot of the newer wifi stuff automation stuff.
Are better options out there tho but I’m happy.
