  • Thomas MagicMirror with two screens. 55x83cm

    Hi!

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

    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. 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!)

    Saw that https://github.com/parnic/MMM-RottenTomatoes has gotten a new push but still seems like the same problem.

    @lavolp3

    Nope not working…

    if you change the id’s to “movies_sidebar”
    and uri: “http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dream_horse”
    It seems like it’s loading again. but the loading is not correct.

    would be super good if there would be a way to manually add the PR just replacing the index do not work.

  • RE: MMM-RottenTomatoes displays awaiting update

    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.

    IMG_5851.jpg

    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?
