#DIY MAGIC MIRROR VIDEOS SURVELLIANCE SOFTWARE#
I ran into a two issues when installing the Voice Kit software - this is actually due to two bugs in Google's software itself at the time I wrote this guide. :) However, read the notes below before installing! Troubleshooting Since these instructions can change at any time, I don't want to duplicate them here.
#DIY MAGIC MIRROR VIDEOS SURVELLIANCE INSTALL#
Follow the instructions on the official Google AIY Github repo here to install everything.
Since we have a fresh install of Raspbian, we're going to install the Google Voice AIY software manually. If you don't want a voice assistant in your mirror, you can go ahead and skip to the two-way mirror installation step now. To do this: nano ~/MagicMirror/config/config.jsĬhange the port: 8080 line to port: 8081. Important: We need to change the port that MagicMirror uses so it won't conflict with the port that the Google Voice Kit wants to use. You can then use Alt-TAB (or CMD-TAB) to tab between MagicMirror and Terminal as desired! Note: Now that the MagicMirror software loads automatically on reboot, you can still get to the Terminal window by pressing the Windows (or Option) key on your keyboard and then selecting Terminal from Accessories. I wrote a separate detailed guide for installing MagicMirror use that guide to install and configure it and then return here! :) In a nutshell, the MagicMirror platform is a web page - hosted on the Pi - that displays information on the screen and forms the core visual interface of our smart mirror. We're going to use MichMich's MagicMirror platform to turn our Raspberry Pi into a magic mirror. I recommend just grabbing an acrylic mirror, but if you're strapped for cash and are feeling handy, this approach will work! However, after reading tons of reviews about this approach, it's hard to get a perfect result - every speck of dust or hair will show up tenfold. Then, buy some two-way mirror film from Amazon.
You can save a few bucks by grabbing a custom-cut 13" x 13" glass pane from your local hardware store. Thickness: 3/16 (.177) inches - choose this size thinner acrylic mirrors can have a "funhouse mirror" effect.I ordered mine from TAP Plastics here for about $40 using these options:
There are a few ways to obtain your mirror: Order a precut acrylic two-way mirror online (recommended) Your two-way mirror can be made of glass or acrylic precut acrylic two-way mirrors are generally less expensive (and safer to work with) than precut glass two-way mirrors. To build a magic mirror the size of the pi-top CEED, we're going to need a 13" x 13" two-way mirror.
