20. Final project requirements¶
What does it do?¶
My project displays the weather and time and you can touch on things to open curtain things.
Who’s done what beforehand?¶
Many people have make a magic mirror before but I havent seen one that was touch screen.
What did you design?¶
I designed a mini Magic Mirror that you can click on to turn on the screen.
What sources did you use?¶
I used many sources including: Magic Mirror 3rd Party Moduals for the spotify and my fellow peers, Andrew Puky and Amalia Bordoloi.
What materials and components were used?¶
I used a Rasberry Pi and a screent that compatible with a rasberry pi. I also used IR receivers and IR transmitters.
Where did they come from?¶
Bill of Materials¶
| Items # | Descriptions | Vendor | Quantity | Cost | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | IR LEDS and IR RECEIVERS | Amazon | 2 | 8.88 | Link |
| 2 | Raspberry Pi 3 B+ | Amazon | 1 | 44.8 | Link |
| 3 | 2-Way Mirror 12X12 | Amazon | 1 | 29.99 | Link |
| 4 | Upgraded Version 7’’ Raspberry Pi Screen | Amazon | 1 | 37.99 | Link |
What parts and systems were made?¶
The IR Frame was made by me meaning that the 3D printed actual frame and the sensors that read the finger touch.
What processes were used?¶
The processes used were touch detection, input processing, application logic, data retrieval, data processing, and display rendering.
What questions were answered?¶
The question that was answered was “how to make a basic magic mirror have touch detection”.
What worked? What didn’t?¶
Throughout the project many things were tested and some of the things that worked were the IR sensors and the flask and how it all communicated together. Something that didn’t work was my orriginaly plan of using CIS sensors. These I couldn’t figure out how to work when it how I came to the conclusion of using IR sensors.
How was it evaluated?¶
The system was evaluated throu many test of what gestures would work to set off the sensores. This tested the functionality and it demonstrated what worked to turn on the magic mirror and if the magic mirror displayed the correct things once touched.
What are the implications?¶
The results show that the Magic Mirror is functional but could be improved with better touch calibration and performance optimization. Future iterations could include more precise touch sensors, improved software efficiency, and additional features such as voice control, gesture recognition, or expanded modules. These improvements would increase usability, accuracy, and overall system reliability.
