Second, choose " Boot Options" and then choose to boot to Desctop GUI with the "pi" user. In there, you are going to do three different things. To make the right configurations you need to open the terminal and enter " sudo raspi-config". In my case, I came directly to the desktop on start. Connect to the computer screen, add a mouse and keyboard, and start it. When the write is successful, you just take the SD-card and put it in your Raspberry. Make sure that the destination is the SD-card (in my case D:)Īs you can see in the "Win32"-image, I'm using Raspbian Jessie. Klick on the folder icon and browse to the folder where you have the Raspbian files.

You can download it at /projects/win32diskimager/. When the ZIP-file is extracted you need Win32 Disk Imager.
Put your SD-card in the computer and write down the letter (in my case ). I decided to do my own guide after having a lot of problems during my project, and I figured I could help other people who might end up with the same problems. If they are straight back, you might get a problem if you want to hang it on the wall later on. It will be smaller once the plastic is gone!Īlso, when you get the screen, make sure that the contacts are on one of the sides and not straight back. Remember to don't take the measurements for the mirror until you have opened the screen. A second computer (for fixing OS and stuff).HDMI-to-VGA-adapter (depending on if your screen has HDMI or not).Wood frame (boards, screw, glue, paint, drill).A network adapter (for wifi, look at this link, not necessary for Raspberry Pi 3,).A Raspberry Pi with casing + micro USB power cord.An observation mirror or glas and a mirrorfilm.A computer screen (that you can take apart).Make sure you are paying attention to if I write just "Raspberry Pi model B" or "Raspberry Pi 2 model B"! The first Raspberry Pi can't really handle the new OS Jessie when the screen is rotated and keep freezing and loosing internet connection. I made this with a Raspberry Pi model B, but I will recommend that you use a Raspberry pi 2 or better.
You will use a Raspberry Pi, a computer screen and a webpage to make it look like you have "a smart mirror".Įverything on the mirror will be in Swedish (on the pictures), but I will translate what you need. In this project I will show you how I made a Magic Mirror that shows the date, time, some news and a little phrase at the bottom.
