I bought the Pi, MicroSD card and wifi dongle from Adafruit, just to keep things simple. (Optional, $15 for a set that only used one USB port) Wireless USB keyboard and mouse for controlling the Pi directly. (~$5 for a three pack)Ī short flat HDMI cable to connect to the Pi to the TV.ģM VHB tape to hold the wires and Pi to the back of the monitor. (~$10)Ī short micro USB cable to connect the Pi to the TV's USB port for power. Pi-compatible USB wifi dongle for internet access. Raspberry Pi to drive the display I got a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, but the original model works just as well. (~$220)Īn appropriately sized piece of two way mirror glass (~$250 plus shipping)Ĭonstruct a wooden frame to house the monitor.
#MAGIC ENGINE ON RASPBERRY PIE 1080P#
To make one of these, you need to acquire a few things and build some others yourself:Ī thin 1080p HDTV or monitor with downward-pointing ports on the back, and preferably a USB port. Luckily, Michael had provided step by step instructions for the whole process, and the source for the website itself. It was pretty cool, and I wanted to build me own. The black parts cause the mirror to remain reflective, while the white text shines through. A Raspberry Pi running Chromium in kiosk mode displays a black web page with white text, using content pulled from the internet. This clever setup puts an HDTV behind a two-way mirror to create a mirror that displays useful information, thus creating a smart mirror. A few months back I came across Michael Teeuw's Magic Mirror project.
