To add to the build information I used the guide published by @rootsudo with what I believe is a better way to get node on the Pi B+ or Zero.

As pi user on a fresh jessie lite install, this uses “n” to install the latest node build for the architecture you are installing on so in my case ARM6.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/tj/n.git
cd n
sudo make install
cd ~
sudo n stable
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror


Then proceed as per the original guide. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2075/magicmirror-on-pi-zero-w

I saw this site and thought that looks like a fun project for a Pi Zero W… ( should read the whole wiki really ).

I hit ebay for a 1" deep A4 frame, a 7" LCD with HDMI driver board and a bit of two way acrylic.

Unfortunately I then found out that the software is incompatible with the ARM architecture of the Pi Zero, so here is my mirror running with a Pi 3, the only additional components were a power plug for the LCD and a two way micro USB power lead to split the power between Pi and LCD.

Total ebay spend ~45 quid. (less Pi and PSU).

Enjoy

(edit) Here are the innards.

(edit) Just spotted the forum posts about getting this working with the Pi Zero W so will attempt that later.

@Damian ( edit - The question wasn’t for me was it. Anyway this might help someone. )

Hi, not sure what you mean hopefully the attached picture will help. ( That’s a Pi B+ with a very fat HDMI cable. I intend to change it to a slimmer one and add a PIR sensor using @cowboysdude code. )

I was going to use a Pi Zero W then realised I had an old B+ and Wifi dongle so I switched to that instead.

If you have any specific questions please ask.
