I’m actually running two apps on different ports for each monitor and some hacking of the js/electron.js to change the x position.
ADAFRUIT TRINKET 5V FASTLED CODE
I need to push some code changes to the magicmirror because it doesn’t support dual monitors. One thing is I totally didn’t cover up the monitor lights lol, so theres 2 dots - so cover those, I just say it adds to the aesthetic :) From certain angles you can kind of see the outline of the monitor but its not much. Overall I’m pretty happy with how reflective it is and I’m very happy with how sturdy it is. Added some metal hooks to help support some wiring Its from some packaging material I had at my apt, any small board will due, this gets glued to the backboardĪfter all the glue has dried. The board is about an inch or so bigger than the pi. Use the pi as a template to cut out a board and drill holes where the pi mount screws go. Glue in the corner squares and clamp them in place I left a gap near the edges of each monitor with felt flaps that I can lift up later to place a motion detection camera for future use Where monitor meats board, cover with the black felt held to the blackboard with wood glue. This should be packed such that the monitors won’t move. Start lining things up and marking off exact mount points, also removed the protective stickersĪdd the bottom monitor reversed and cut out the black board, we will need to cover the entire area that isn’t covered by monitor with boardĪdd the two support beams, Stabilize with wood glue and screws. Theres a small gap around the sides of the mirror and the frame that I padded with felt Use wood glue on the corners, mallet the plastic corners in that it comes with. The frame portion became a nice holder for the top monitorīuild the frame and place the mirror in. I actually bought 2 of the 24″ frame kits to glue 2 sides together to act as one of the support beams. The white is the outer frame the black is the back structure pieces The assembly and installation of modules and the app were a 1 day build The cutting of the wood and painting were done prior to the build.
ADAFRUIT TRINKET 5V FASTLED TV
* Webview - this runs all the tumblr tv which powers the gifs. * Glue - wood + superglue or gorilla glue * Sandpaper - Most of my day was spent sanding and dreaming of power tools * handsaw - I hope you got a circular saw * black board - I got this at an arts and craft store, a sturdy light board painted black or painted cardboard would work, the lighter the better and easy to cut I also cut the corners into smaller blocks that angle perpendicular to the top bar You’ll need a total of 96″ to build out 4 24 support pieces. * 1″x3″ piece of wood to cut to build the support structure for the back. * wood frame kit - This is actually for an art canvas, so it definitely isn’t going to provide the necessary support we need, so we’ll have to build it in the back They’re very thin and light, I didn’t even need to remove them from the casing * 2 monitors - I’m very happy with these monitors. With the pi 4 dual monitor support it seemed like a perfect time for a project Has anyone else got any thoughts on how further to debug / diagnose this?Įdit: The issue is I get no output to the led strip.I’ve been seeing magic mirrors around the internet for a bit now and have been thinking of making one for months. I have also tried to output to pin 11 which apparently is a built in single NEOPIXEL to rule out the other hardware. It's worth noting that I've had the strip working with another device. And I'm connecting pin 0 to the correct end of the strip for data direction flow. I've got a common ground between the QT PY / PSU, and LED strip. #include #define NUM_LEDS 144 #define DATA_PIN 0 QT PY (ESP32 S2) (Edited from typo, NOT the C2!) 5V 3A dedicated PSU WS2812B strip (144/m) and 1m of length. Prior to using FastLED, I'd got a successful web server / wifi connection to the QT PY using arduino as opposed to python as that's my preferred way of doing things.
