Smart Pvc Magic Software

Usethe adjacent fields to enter the width of the wood you intend to use of for the front frame and the width of the wood for the rear frame. (Both need to be entered vent if they are the same). Also enter the width and height of you piece of mirror material. All measurements should be in CM. The calculator allows for 2.5cm of overlap in front of the material surface.

You will need to connect power to your Raspberry Pi as well as your choice of HDMI monitor. If you are using a PIR sensor breakout board then the wires should be connected as shown below. The length of these wires will depend on the distance between where you will install your Raspberry Pi and the top of the frame where the PIR in installed.

With these details pre-set you can begin the writing process to the SD card. Your computer may require to authorise the Raspberry Pi Imager software so that it has the ability to format the memory card.

This might take a few minutes and you should let to imaging software verify the write process was successful. After this is complete you will be notified. The micro SD card can then be removed and fitted into the Raspberry Pi.

Temporarily connect a USB keyboard and mouse (wired or wireless is fine). After logging in (if you are not logged in automatically at boot) you can hover your mouse over the networking icon in the top right of the window. The icon is made up of two adjacent light blue arrows, one pointing up and the other down.

When you use a microSD card loaded with the OS and preconfigure your wifi credentials, automatic allotment of an IP to the Raspberry Pi takes place. The router's DHCP is the one that allots and records these assigned IP addresses. The details are available in the router's address table.

The method for accessing this table varies by brand. As an example, on my Google Wifi network I can use the Google Home App, tap 'Wifi' and then 'Devices' to see a list of currently connected devices and their respective IP addresses.

Now we now the Pi's IP address we can connect to it via SSH and then begin issuing commands. From a Windows PC you'll need to open a command prompt (this works on Windows 10 and 11) and on Mac open a Terminal window. Now enter the following:

Substituting 'lewis' for the username you specified when installing Raspberry Pi OS, and the IP address with the correct one you identified for your Pi in the previous step. You will then be prompted for your password - don't worry if you see nothin when typing, just carry on.

This step can take some time to complete (perhaps anywhere between 10 minutes up to 30 minutes depending on the processing power of your Pi). Treat yourself to a short break and enjoy a cup of tea. Once it has completed we can make a copy of config file and then run the magic mirror in its default configuration to check everything is working so far. Run the following commands:

As you look down through the configuration document you'll see separate sections for each of the modules and within these section will be the various options available and their set values. Any option not mentioned will take the default value as specified in the documentation for that Magic Mirror module.

This page: on the Magic Mirror documentation pages explains the available options and values. For example, the 'Position' option set's the location of where the module will be loaded onscreen. Just a few of the possible values are top_bar , top_left , top_center , top_right.

There is an ever growing list of 3rd party modules which is maintained on this page: -party-modules. Each one is installed an and configured in slightly different but similar ways. As an example I will guide you through installing and configuring the popular NowPlayingOnSpotify module.

Straight out of the future, the smart mirror is simply a display behind a one way mirror. One way mirrors can reflect most of light that hits the surface while still allowing some of the monitor's video behind it passes to the surface of the mirror.

Unlike most of the smart mirror builds that are based of the Magic Mirror OS built for the Raspberry Pi, this smart mirror is built on a windows platform. There's nothing wrong with the Magic Mirror but it hasn't been built to be interactive and mostly displays static information. Furthermore the raspberry pi hardware struggles to do anything more than display static widgets.I wanted to be able to walk up to my smart mirror and be able to give it commands via voice. browse the web and maybe watch some YouTube/Netflix.

One more way my build differs is that I didn't want a frame around my mirror and wanted to maintain a floating glass look rather than building a frame around my smart mirror. To do this I drilled 4 holes into the mirror and attached the frame to these screws in the glass.

So after building this very smart mirror with my raspberry Pi as the brain, I decided to upgrade it to something more powerful, yet I wanted a cheap alternative especially considering how cheap the Raspberry pi is. The best way to do this was to use an old unused that was lying at home unused. If you don't have any old laptops, you can very easily get a second hand laptop of websites like ebay for dirt cheap.

Before you start disassembly, note that the following steps will most likely void your laptop and monitor's warranty. Do note, this step isn't cumpolsory and you can direectly atach your electronics behind the LCD. However removing the electronics of the laptop and monitor allow you to get a significantly thinner and easier to build mirror.

You also want to make sure all the hardware works before before you disassemble and install it in the mirror. You can also skip to the Software step to test the software and see if the OS runs well on your machine.

Start by removing all the screws you can find on your laptop. If need be, look for an online repair guide to see how the laptop is dissembled. Once inside, make sure to document any step you take either with a photo or with a written note. Take the motherboard of the laptop out and make sure that the WiFi card, ram, cooling fan, and hard disk are connected to the mother board. You can disconnect the laptop display cable, battery, track pad, and keyboard cables at this point. connect your motherboard to your external display and make sure that the bare motherboard can boot before you proceed. If the mother board can't boot, try to retrace your steps and figure out what part is preventng the motherboard from booting.

Once the laptop motherboard is ready, Decase the monitor too. Remove any bezel and stand till you're left with the bare lcd pannel and the small driver and power boards that are linked to it. Again make sure all the stippied components still work.

Lastly you wan't to solder a cable that plugs into the wall on one side and plugs into both the display and laptop power supply. This is a simple y shaped cable harness where the LCD and Laptop input power is parallel.

I didn't want to build a tradional and simple frame where the frame would go around the mirror. I wanted to give the mirror a floating look so I hid the frame behind the mirror. To mount the frame to the back of the mirror, I drilled 4 holes according to the drawings attached above.

I used a combination of Wood stocks and screws to build a rectangular shape for the monitor to sit in. I used black tape to cover the areas of the glass taht the monitor doesn't cover so that light doesn't leak from behind the monitor.

Add a way to attach your frame to your wall. I used 2 blocks drilled into my wall and a cable tension system to mount my frame to the wall. You want to make sure that all your hardware is working and that you have a power line running to where you're mounting your mirror.

Once you've mounted your mirror on your wall, go into to your display properties in windows and select the appropriate display scaling for you. While here, you also want to change your wallpaper to black because black parts of the mirror reflect more light. You also want to make sure that our mirror is set for 'never sleeping' in the power options. Lastly, make sure that the taskbar auto hides by right clicking the taskbar, clicking properties and selecting the auto hide feature.

4. Use a leap motion. I tried this but the leap motion isn't precise enough and it gets tiring to hold you hand in the air for so long. Some good apps for using the leap as a mouse are mudra mouse and gamewave

I am using the track-pad of the computer at the moment to navigate the interface as you can see in some of the pictures. I tried other ways such as gesture control or touch but gesture control is too finicky with the leap motion and building a touch screen using IR lights is too complex and will make the mirror look ugly. In the future, I want to use a LCD panel with touch built in so it's minimal extra work for me to implement it.

With my first iPad Pro (original 12.9") I decided on the Logitech Create keyboard because it had backlit keys. Hopefully Apple will build a Magic keyboard with this feature in the future. Either with a light sensing keyboard or a key to adjust the brightness.

I recently compared them again. The only thing the smart folio could ostensibly do better for me is fold all the way back for pencil use, but the magic keyboard works just as well if I close it all the way and lay the iPad on it. The rubber is grippy enough.

The MK was a revelation when it came out, and I was happy to overlook the added weight given the extreme convenience of having a single cellular enabled device that could be a laptop one moment and a wonderful pdf annotation pad the next.

I typed most of my dissertation on the SKF. I loved the feel of those keys and I loved the convenience of knowing it was fully spill proof. The one thing that did frustrate me and would frustrate me now if I was to go back to it was the choice of only two angles. Other than that, it was arguably a more coherent accessory than the MK.

What I like about the Smart Keyboard Folio is the fact that you can fold it all the way to the back of the iPad when it is not needed. It is ok for typing. But the typing experience is not nice as far as I am concerned.
