Once a Terminal window opens, enter the following commands: sudo apt-get update Once your Pi boots up and you see the home screen, click on the Terminal icon, near the left side of toolbar at the top of the screen.

Walking through these steps will take about an hour to two to complete, mainly because it takes time to download the new version, install it, and reboot. Once your screen loads, connect to a wifi connection. Go ahead and connect your Raspberry Pi to a monitor, mouse and keyboard. If not, then you can skip the next section, which is all about upgrading your Raspberry Pi OS.

If you need to upgrade your Pi, then continue reading. I found that it's easier to update from "Jessie" to "Stretch" first, before trying to make the jump to "Buster". When I fired up my old Raspberry Pi, it was using "Jessie", which does NOT work because it has some issues with running Electron. As of today, "Buster" is out, and that works fine as well. We'll use this module, and later on, we'll update it to send a public GET request to retrieve custom messages)īefore I go any further, you need to make sure that your Raspberry Pi is running at least the "Stretch" version of Raspberry Pi OS (which used to go by the name “Raspbian”). One of these default modules is the "Compliments" module that displays random compliments.
Some of which include the weather, the latest news, and calendar updates. The default Magic Mirror repository comes with a dozen or so default modules.

They are self-contained code blocks that are plug and play with the running Electron app. It comes with many default modules, which act similarly to npm modules. It uses Electron behind the scenes to run a continuous running screen. Thankfully, there is a lot of open-source code already out on the web for us to piggyback on. The fourth generation is the latest version out today, and that will work as well. The Raspberry Pi that I am using is a generation three.
You will need both for the Raspberry Pi.Īs you can see in the picture above, you'll need to connect to the Raspberry Pi to the mirror monitor's board with HDMI cable for the video feed and a USB-A-to-micro USB cable to provide power to the Pi. The best part is that the back of the frame even has an opening that includes HDMI and micro USB ports. The mirror comes with a monitor already tucked away behind a beautiful frame. However, in the interest of time and not trusting my woodworking skills, I decided to grab the "Vilros Magic Glass Mirror and Frame" kit from Amazon. If you are handy, you can attempt to create the custom frame yourself. The monitor is removed from its normal casing and wrapped with a wood frame. This allows us to see our reflection while allowing light from the other side to leak through. A two-way mirror is a glass that is reflective on one side and clear on the other. The smart mirror is built with a two-way mirror on top of a monitor.
