I’ve written a post on how to build a touch screen smart Mirror (with Face Recognition) if you would like the full details. I’ve built a home interface that ties all your smart appliances to a central interface. Recently, I have been developing an interest in the growing Home Automation industry, especially how we could make our home smarter. In a world where microcomputer applications are becoming more prominent, these silent machines that help lower costs on products from Vending machine to IoT appliances. Using a Raspberry Pi is a great skill to learn. What will follow this post will be a series of steps to go from taking a brand new raspberry Pi 3 out of the box to having MagicMirror up.Comprehensive tutorial on how to build a MM2 from start to. It goes with the saying, “what you put your mind to, you could build.” Software OnlyĪ software registration key will be e-mailed to you after your Paypal payment has been received.One great aspect of Engineering is the ability to innovate and create your own products. If you already have an Arduino and can build the circuit yourself, you can also purchase just the software. The Magic Mirror kit can be purchased from Seeedstudio. The manual's index and tutorial will help, but the weak on-line information. Wiring diagram if using the CAT5 wiring option, includes also how to solder connections to the back of the Proximity sensor Samna's tutorial, however, is quite helpful.

Our team of glass experts is standing by to. Helpful step-by-step guides and video tutorials teach you about each product in detail.
* Some soldering is required for the Maxbotix LV EZ-1 Proximity Sensor as in this diagram, solder points close-upįor those with some basic electronics knowledge, you can also use other types of momentary switches (ex. Products for privacy, smart mirrors, hidden televisions, photo booths, and teleprompters. Note the cables come in different lenghts, choose the cable length best for your installation.
When ordering the sensors, be sure and also order the cables as they are not included with the sensors. Note the Maxbotix proximity sensor is not available from Seeedstudio and does require some minor soldering. The Touch Sensor can simply be plugged into the Magic Mirror Sensor Hub and requires no soldering.
The sensors below are not included with the base kit and are purchased separately from Seeedstudio.
