Hi Guys.

I’ve been tying to get a Magic Mirror to fit in an old Mirror frame. I’ve managed to fit everything except for a power supply for the RPi … I completely forgot about that and didn’t think it would be the thickest device (but it is). I only have about 2cm of space between the mirror and the back of the frame.

I really want to be able to use the incoming power so that I only have one cable powering the whole mirror.

Has anyone been able to get a good 5V off of the ASUS Monitor power supply board (4H.1AB02.A12) … I’ve poked around with my multimeter and haven’t found anything I can use … Can’t find any documentation online.

I think I may have to buck up and just make the power stick out or make the whole thing thicker …

Ya, I did see that. I tried it … the Module wouldn’t load for me … I admit I didn’t try too hard though. For me the issue was 2 things.

1. I didn’t like that I need to send my data to some server in Russia …
2. I’ve already got a lot of Modules … I don’t really want to find the space for another map.

So that’s why I want to combine my Traffic Map from Google (which is great for showing traffic), with a simple Marker overlay showing Family location.

I’d like to make a Custom Branch of the Module MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic that would take Marker positions from a constantly updated CSV file that would be either transmitted by a phone to my own server (ie Rpi), or just from an online location like Google Drive. I can easily get an app that transmits this data to my preferences (GPSLogger). Now I just need to learn JavaScript to modify the Module to pull the data I want.

I figure I’d post here and see what you guys think. I’ve got lots of experience with C and Arduino programming … how hard could it be to pull a CSV file and parse the 2 coordinates that I need.

I don’t think anyone has programmed such a Module yet and I see some interest (me included).
