Project Overview
I created a Smart Mirror using a Raspberry Pi. This device allows you to wake up and have all the information you need to start your day, from weather information to the traffic on your route, this mirror can do everything you want.

The Process
This project required me to learn a LOT of Linux in order to communicate with the Raspberry Pi's OS. However, it was very rewarding when I first saw the MagicMirror software boot onto the monitor (on left). This picture gives a much clearer view of the modules without the mirror on top of it.Â
Additionally, I didn't realize that I needed something to hold the mirror until the very last week, so I had to scramble and create a holder to 3d print. (File shown on left). This print failed multiple times, and I even accidentally printed two right holders instead of one right and one left. Nonetheless, the project made it to the design fair on time!
