@cowboysdude Sure, what would you like to see? In the google gallery (the link above) there are lots of “close ups” but is it something in particular you are interested in?

@j.e.f.f said in Word Clock Screensaver:

One question: I don’t want to schedule it, per se, but I’d like it to appear after, say, ten minutes of no motion detected, and hide again when the PIR sensor detects motion. Is this possible out of the box or would I need to write something custom to do this? (I’m already using a customized version of MMM-PIRSensor to control the screensaver and monitor power-off, so I suppose this shouldn’t be a big deal).

Hmm… I think you can do it with the MMM-RemoteControl you can send the remote strings to hide and show stuff using the “modified” pir. :)

@j.e.f.f Hi! You can use the MMM-TextClock to what you want. Then use the MMM-ModuleScheduler to set the time when it should be displayed. :)

@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. :)

Looking good! Nice work! Another swede here. :)

@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. :)

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. :)

@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. :)

@planet4 “Prognås” is my bad… :) Sorry… You are correct. I thought it looked strange. :)

@cowboysdude Ah, Thank you! Looking good. I’ll pull when I have some time. :)
