Hi!

So I just finished my first build.
A 55x83cm MagicMirror with two 23" displays and two Raspberry PI.

The whole project took me about 1 week to fix and cost me about 3200 SEK (About 393 USD)
The build is pretty basic and do not use many modules, wanted to keep it clean.

Here’s how I built it:
First the frame. I used one 90mm X 2500mm and one 20mm X 2500mm plank. Glued them together and then started sawing them in a 45 degree angle. (45+45=90 degree angle)
Then used glue to bring them together.

After that I started working with the glass. I used a mirror film I got from: http://www.mdpsupplies.se/onewaymirror.asp
Using some soap and water the film mounted really good.

Then off to install MM and some modules on my two RPI. Since I wanted to keep it as clean as possible I only used: RSS feed, Compliments, Clock, Current weather and Sonos. This is the result

I prepared two 23" screens that I got from a preowned store near where I live. Took them apart and mounted the circuit board to some thin plastic. I then used some velcro to mount everything to the back of the screens.

Now to the fun part! The actual building. I started with placing the mirror glass inside the frame and glued it with some “apoxy glue”. Then started to place the screens.

I used some black paper to prevent any light to get through. Then I used some small planks that I drilled in place to get the screens to stay in place and also make the frame stronger.

All done now the only thing left is to put in the RPI and all the cables.
1 C12 splitter Cable
1 DVI to HDMI Cable
1 VGA cable
1 HDMI to VGA Converter
2 RPI
1 power strip with 3 outlets
2 Micro USB cables
1 USB outlet with 2.1a
And last but not least a Elegato EVE.
I use the EVE to control my mirror with Apple HomeKit by saying “mirror on” etc.
With everything in place this is the result.

Now off to some painting. Built two at the same time so one was painted black and one white.

After that the MagicMirror was done. I mounted it to the wall and said to Siri “mirror on”. This was the result in the end.

Oh yeah and I named the mirror to “Svetlana” lol.

Hope you have enjoyed!
Happy to answer your questions.

(SORRY FOR THE TERRIBLE ENGLISH!)

Hey @haywire!

I tried this but it did not work for me…

Tried removing old MMM-RottenTomatoes and installing https://github.com/parnic/MMM-RottenTomatoes

It got the “Awaiting update” message fixed but the only thing showing up now is the:
box office, opening this week, coming soon
without any movies.

Using the same config.js as I did for the old MMM-RottenTomatoes

Also tried manually removing rt-scraper and then cloning from https://github.com/parnic/NPMJS-rt-scraper but still no success…

Any ideas?

How did u find the token?

Trying to add this module but can’t seem to find a token anywhere. Looked at the Plex Guide for finding the token but didn’t help me at all…

@birdy yeah, but i used velcro tape insted of glue

@birdy i cut out flat pices that i drilled the board to.

@birdy i used one of thease.

Easy to bend och drill in

Here you have the solution!

Good Luck!

@AlexHpoin Have u saved the config file in the right place?

@AlexHpoin What happens when you boot it up?

@birdy I used some stuff from this site when i configured the Rapi (Y)
