Once you have finished installing WizardMirror and configured all the software, you can move on to the hardware: the actual mirror design.You will need
- LCD screen
- 2-way mirror glass/film
- Wooden frame to frame the mirror.
- Cables to get your Raspberry Pi running and connect it to the Screen
- Other tools
What you will need to do:Open up your LCD Monitor, attach the mirror film on top of it, frame it, attach the Raspberry pi and attach it to the wall. School's starting, so I can't do much right now, but as soon as winter break starts I'll try to make a build video.
