In the picture above there is an image with a black background and white text, as well as a color wheel below each title. This is to simulate what your diy smart mirror will look like with each mirror type. If you are familiar with this application at all, this is super obvious why we would compare them this way!

It is obvious who the winner is. Notice with the Dielectric Mirror, the color wheel is much brighter and the text is white and easy to read. However, the reflection tint is not the closest match to a standard mirror.

Check it out! The Glass Smart Mirror has a crisp reflection and a bright color wheel. This resembles a standard mirror the closest out of all of the options.

Laptops don"t last forever, but the screens inside them usually do. Even if the main computer is broken, you can extract the display panel, and reuse it. In today"s project, we"ll be turning an old laptop and a Raspberry Pi into a magic mirror.

Before you start, I should note that counterintuitively, it"s not always cost-effective to try and rescue a panel from a laptop, since you need to find a suitable driver board and power supply. Unlike a ready-made monitor which just plugs into HDMI, the LCD or LED panel inside your laptop will have had a signal directly from the laptop"s motherboard.

Still want to go on? If you can"t find an iFixit tear down guide for your laptop, just grab a flathead screwdriver or craft knife and begin ripping the screen bezel off. From there, you should able to find the screws that secure the display to the hinges. Take extra care around any existing ribbon cables, as you may need to re-use them later.

When your board arrives, you won"t find a single controller board: likely you"ll have a separate inverter (for LCDs, which require a high voltage), a board with buttons on for input control, and possibly a remote control receiver board (optional). This is the main controller board:

Since this is an LED, there no need for a separate inverter board. The ports should be obvious, and there"s only a few separate ribbon cable connectors. You"ll find some pins labelled LVDS: this is where the delicate flat cable that connects to the LCD screen will go, but don"t plug that in yet.

I used some 1.5-inch square planed timber to cut roughly the right size frame to fit around the screen, then used a router to cut out the frame inset. This was really a process of trial and error.

The last step was to fit the mirror sheet -- 3mm mirrored plexiglass -- with the screen behind it. It was a tight fit anyway, so no additional fixings were required. I used some double-sided sticky tape to secure the Raspberry Pi and other bits.

At this point, I booted up the Raspberry Pi to find that in the couple of months I"d left this project unfinished in the garage, the screen had been cracked on one side. Half the screen was still functional however, so I slid a piece of black card into the frame too, sandwiched between the display and the plexiglass. It hides the broken area perfectly!

To make things simple, we"re using a popular open-source magic mirror solution by MichMich with support for many plugins. We could code up our own unique web app, but there"s really no point in reinventing the wheel.

At some point it"ll ask you if you want to auto-start the Magic Mirror, and you probably do. Once it is all done, it should launch directly into the default layout.

To stop the screensaver kicking in after five minutes, I followed these instructions from the MagicMirror Wiki. Then, to enable MagicMirror to autostart on every restart, I used this guide. I won"t copy the instructions here as they"re simple to follow and require no additional explanation.

Rather than plug your Raspberry Pi into a TV, or connect via SSH (or remote desktop connections via VNC or RDP), you might have opted to purchase a Raspberry Pi touchscreen display.

Straightforward to set up, the touchscreen display has so many possibilities. But if you"ve left yours gathering dust in a drawer, there"s no way you"re going to experience the full benefits of such a useful piece of kit.

The alternative is to get it out of the drawer, hook your touchscreen display to your Raspberry Pi, and reformat the microSD card. It"s time to work on a new project -- one of these ideas should pique your interest.

Let"s start with perhaps the most obvious option. The official Raspberry Pi touchscreen display is seven inches diagonal, making it an ideal size for a photo frame. For the best results, you"ll need a wireless connection (Ethernet cables look unsightly on a mantelpiece) as well as a Raspberry Pi-compatible battery pack.

In the example above, Belkin WeMo switches and a Nest thermostat are manipulated via the Raspberry Pi, touchscreen display, and the InControlHA system with Wemo and Nest plugins. ST:TNG magic comes from an implementation of the Library Computer Access and Retrieval System (LCARS) seen in 1980s/1990s Star Trek. Coder Toby Kurien has developed an LCARS user interface for the Pi that has uses beyond home automation.

Building a carputer has long been the holy grail of technology DIYers, and the Raspberry Pi makes it far more achievable than ever before. But for the carputer to really take shape, it needs a display -- and what better than a touchscreen interface?

Now here is a unique use for the Pi and its touchscreen display. A compact, bench-based tool for controlling hardware on your bench (or kitchen or desk), this is a build with several purposes. It"s designed to help you get your home automation projects off the ground, but also includes support for a webcam to help you record your progress.

The idea here is simple. With just a Raspberry Pi, a webcam, and a touchscreen display -- plus a thermal printer -- you can build a versatile photo booth!

Projects along these lines can also benefit from better use of the touchscreen. Perhaps you could improve on this, and introduce some interesting photo effects that can be tweaked via the touchscreen prior to printing?

How about a smart mirror for your Raspberry Pi touchscreen display project? This is basically a mirror that not only shows your reflection, but also useful information. For instance, latest news and weather updates.

Naturally, a larger display would deliver the best results, but if you"re looking to get started with a smart mirror project, or develop your own from scratch, a Raspberry Pi combined with a touchscreen display is an excellent place to start.

Many existing projects are underway, and we took the time to compile six of them into a single list for your perusal. Use this as inspiration, a starting point, or just use someone else"s code to build your own information-serving smart mirror.

Want to pump some banging "toons" out of your Raspberry Pi? We"ve looked at some internet radio projects in the past, but adding in a touchscreen display changes things considerably. For a start, it"s a lot easier to find the station you want to listen to!

This example uses a much smaller Adafruit touchscreen display for the Raspberry Pi. You can get suitable results from any compatible touchscreen, however.

We were impressed by this project over at Hackster.io, but note that there are many alternatives. Often these rely on compact LCD displays rather than the touchscreen solution.

Many home automation systems have been developed for, or ported to, the Raspberry Pi -- enough for their own list. Not all of these feature a touchscreen display, however.

Another great build, and the one we"re finishing on, is a Raspberry Pi-powered tablet computer. The idea is simple: place the Pi, the touchscreen display, and a rechargeable battery pack into a suitable case (more than likely 3D printed). You might opt to change the operating system; Raspbian Jessie with PIXEL (nor the previous desktop) isn"t really suitable as a touch-friendly interface. Happily, there are versions of Android available for the Raspberry Pi.

7) Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI port of Raspberry Pi and then power on the Raspberry Pi, it can display normally after waiting for about a few seconds.

The screen is displayed vertically by default. For convenience, you can adjust the display orientation of the screen, see #Rotation(Working with Raspberry Pi).

After the display is rotated, the position of touch is incorrect because the touch doesn’t change with the display angle. So the touch also needs to be modified.

In some special systems, when you cannot rotate by modifying the software, you can press and hold the "Rotate Touch" button for 5 seconds to rotate touch. And you may need to test multi times for the correct orientation.

We recommend using the software modification method. Otherwise, when using the new system, it may cause touch reverse errors. At that time, you need to press and hold "Rotate Touch" to rotate.

Note: If you increase the brightness, it may cause the insufficient power of the LCD by getting power through the USB interface. To solve this problem, you can input 5V/2A power through the Power interface on the back of the LCD.

Since the first-generation Raspberry Pi released, Waveshare has been working on designing, developing, and producing various fantastic touch LCDs for the Pi. Unfortunately, there are quite a few pirated/knock-off products in the market. They"re usually some poor copies of our early hardware revisions, and comes with none support service.

Raspberry Pi leads out 40 GPIO pins, while the screen leads out 26 pins. When connecting, pay attention to the corresponding pins and Raspberry Pi pins.

5) Insert the TF card into the Raspberry Pi, power on the Raspberry Pi, and wait for more than 10 seconds to display normally. But the touch is abnormal at that time, and the touch needs to be calibrated as the following steps.

3. After reboot, touch will work normally under normal circumstances. But for different resistance screens, the accuracy of using the default calibration parameters may not be very suitable.

You can perform touch calibration by clicking the Raspberry Pi icon on the taskbar, selecting Preferences -> Calibrate Touchscreen, and following the displayed prompts.

4. After calibration, the following data will be displayed. If you want to save these touch values, you can replace the data in the red circle with the data in the corresponding position in 99-calibration.conf.

The installation of xserver-xorg-input-evdev and xinput-calibrator in Ubuntu system reports an error, so the touch cannot be used normally. How to solve it?

The installation of xserver-xorg-input-evdev and xinput-calibrator in Kali system reports an error, so the touch cannot be used normally. How to solve it?

1. Details: length 230mm, width 180mm, thickness 4mm, physical tempering，rectangle shape, the black frame with a rectangle window for screen, with anti-glare coating for reducing the light glare, by quite special edge shaping technique . Welcome to custom your design.

2. Processing: From cutting raw material – glass sheet into little pieces to making physical tempering treatment, the processing procedures are done in our factory. And so is the screen printing step. The production volume reaches 2k – 3k per day. For customized request, that coating anti-fingerprint, anti-reflective (AR) and anti-glare (AG) on the clear surface is workable.

Be a protector for the screen and the touch panel. Different printed colors fit to electronics.  There is a trend to apply this kind glass panel into the auto controller.

A "Smart Mirror" is a two-way mirror with a display behind it that is typically used to display useful information like the time and date, the weather, your calendar, and all sorts of other things! People use them for all kinds of purposes. You"ll see them placed in the bathroom, in the kitchen, as a vanity, all over the place!

In this tutorial, we demystify the process of building a DIY Smart Mirror and walk you step-by-step how to make one using materials you can get online or at your local stores. Our goal is to show you that building a DIY Smart Mirror is not as hard as you might think, and to inspire you to try it!

Smart Mirrors work by using a "two-way mirror" (also called a one-way mirror, which is...very confusing!). What"s significant about a two-way mirror is that one side allows light to pass through and the other side is reflective. That allows you to put something like a display or a monitor on the back and shine light through.

The mirror we"re using is 1/4"thick and is very high-quality glass so we"ll get a lot of light passing through while maintaining a clear reflection. However, these types of mirrors are very expensive. If you"re on a budget, a great option is to use an acrylic mirror. Here"s an example of one: https://amzn.to/30UF2JV

To install the mirror, first, we removed the clear plastic and the cardboard backing in the picture frame. But, we saved the cardboard since we"re going to use it!We then fold up all the little metal tabs to make room for the mirror.

Next, we gently place the mirror into the frame, bright side facing forward (dark side back). It fits perfectly but it"s obviously important to be gentle so we don"t scratch it. Once it"s in, we carefully bend down all the metal tabs to hold the mirror in place.

With everything prepped, we clean the back of the mirror with a microfiber cloth (this is the last chance to do that!), and then we place the cardboard back into the frame. The monitor then fits perfectly into the space we cut out for it, facing the back of the mirror.

Note: if your rectangle cut out is bigger than your monitor, then light can escape from the back through the mirror. You can use some tape over the edges to block the light if need be.

The first one gets placed at the bottom of the monitor to support it"s weight and gets pushed in as tightly as it can go and screwed into place. The second is placed about three-quarters of the way up against the back of the monitor to hold it up against the mirror tightly.

To power our Smart Mirror, we"re using a Raspberry Pi computer. We recommend picking up the entire kit so you get all the various parts and pieces necessary, including a perfectly sized case.

Next, we boot up the Pi for the first time. We"re prompted to "Install" the operating system, so we simply follow the on-screen instructions until the Pi boots up. It then asks us for a few basic questions like Timezone, Wifi, etc.

To run the smart mirror, we"re using a free piece of software called "Magic Mirror". It"s designed specifically for this, it"s very fun to use, and it works GREAT!

The best part about the Magic Mirror software is that it allows you to customize it. The default setup has basic things like a calendar, clock, weather, etc. but that is just the beginning. The documentation shows you how to add "modules" so you can explore a whole world of customization.

We can then screw the Pi case onto the back of the monitor with the single screw and then reassemble the Pi. This is also a good opportunity to install the heat sinks and fan that come with the Pi kit, to keep it cool while it runs our Smart Mirror.

If you"re going to be running videos on the Pi, it can get quite hot! We recommend carefully drilling some vents in the sides of the back frame to promote airflow through the back. If you"re simply running the Mirror with text only, you don"t need to do this.

We ran our cables through the wall directly behind the mirror, but if you"re going to plug them in below the mirror you can cut a small notch in the bottom for the cables to pass through.

Smart Mirrors are SUPER FUN! We love combining technology like this with hands-on making, it"s like the best of both worlds. We spent a lot of time having fun customizing the mirror with different modules to really dial it in for our use case, and we couldn"t be happier with the result. :)

How well does this function with the humidity in the bathroom? does much or any condensation occur on the inside? thinking longevity of the screen and electronics in here or is there a way to add some sort of water proofing / anti fog option?0

You are recommending MirroPane for your smart mirror, which has reflectivity of 68% and visible transmission of 11%. Have you experimented with MirroView at all? (74% reflectivity, 20% visible transmission). Curious which would look better, but not yet curious enough to buy both. :-)2
