![]() Had an old Raspi 2 laying around that was not really reliable and cost me lots of headaches (ie. ![]() Got the two way mirror from Plexihof (Lucerne, Switzerland) Installation/setup is amazingly easy and well made! Need to invest time now to learn more about github and node.js to make the most of it! And when the MagicMirror project was featured Project #1 in MagPi I ran out of excuses not to make one. But then these mirrors caught my eye and I instantly loved it. Wanted to have a family info board in the kitchen for a long time. For me the setup pictured below worked just with the resistor. Even others use an arduino for that purpose. Some other tutorials also mention a level shifter, as the raspi works with 3.3V but the LED strip with 5V. In some tutorials I read that they used a 100 ohm resistor, but I just had 82 ohm and 120 ohm resistors around so I went for the 120 ohm. I also soldered a 120 ohm resistor in between the green cable and pin #12. The red one I cut off so it could not come in the way. The LED strip came with two connectors: 1 with red and white cables for the power supply, and one with red, white and green cable.įrom the connector with the 3 cables I soldered the green one to pin #12 (GPIO18) and the white one to pin #6 (GND). Theory First overview Soldering the Pi Zero The rest like USB power adaptor, Raspberry Pi Zero W, SD card and all the necessary cables I conveniently had lying around. Looking at all the parts that I needed and the price tag I decided to wait a bit more and ordered all the parts (minus the pi zero) from aliexpress. Ī great (and recent) video tutorial is The parts I found great tutorials, the two that helped most (even though their Hyperion installation and configuration is outdated) are and. Another project that I wanted to do like forever was an ambilight for my TV.
