    • RE: Snilles Magic Mirror Project

      @grillchips Hi! Thank you. I’m using a Pilkington MirrorView mirror. It’s a 50/50 mirror (bought it through my work) and it work well when it’s normal lighting I think. If I open the door in the hallway and the sun shines in to the hallway it’s hard to see what’s on the screen.
      Then I’m (for now) using a Raspberry Pi 3 and a IR Multitouch Overlay Frame to give the mirror “touch” capability. There where a bit of trickery to the setup of the IR-Frame, you can find the information in this thread.
      Then I’m using a LPD8806 LED Strip to light up behind the frame. Here I’m for the moment using PixelWeb with Bibliopixel 2.x as a back end. It’s not fully integrated yet with the mirror software. I built a small sh script that sends a json string to PixelWebs (in official) API. :)

      Hehe, As you can imagine, it’s still a long way to go on the software part, you know how it is. There is always something that can get a little better… :)

      I think that’s the important bits. Let me know if you want to know more. :)

    • RE: Raspberry PI 3 Box for Big Passive Cooling Heat Sink.

      @Mykle1 I’m not sure of the temp before the heat sink. I never really payed any attention to it. I had already decided to use a big passive heat sink after reading trough some threads here. So I never tried running the mirror without a heat sink when it was built.
      But now when it’s all complete, It’s hovering around 50-55 degrees celsius when all is up and running.
      Even if I switch profiles, show, hide modules and “use” the mirror so to speak. :)

    • Raspberry PI 3 Box for Big Passive Cooling Heat Sink.

      Just thought I would share my “costume” RPi3 box with you. It’s made so you can fit a 28x28x15mm heat sink on it, so you would not need a fan. Also it’s made to be fasten on the long side and so it’s easily removable. You can see a variant of in om my own MagicMirror.

      Here you can find the actual Box.

      Enjoy. :)

    • RE: Input...What do you think?

      @cowboysdude Hmm… I’m thinking maybe you are working double here… There should be a “global” locale variable you can use. That’s set in the top of the config file. You should be able to use that one some how. I just don’t know how. :)

    • RE: Input...What do you think?

      @cowboysdude Hmm… I forgot a “comma” on the

      en: "translations/en.json"
      

      line… Sorry…
      should be:

      en: "translations/en.json",
      

      And then it seems to be missing something else…
      I get this error…

      Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'simpleforecast' of undefined
          at Class.processNoaa (MMM-NOAA.js:58)
          at Class.socketNotificationReceived (MMM-NOAA.js:88)...
      

      But I have to go to bed… REALLY now… :)
