Transfer the full directory to the Pi, and if you prefer, have it run the Python script after startup/logon. The result will be two static python files that have classes for a Main Window, which you can put a small wrapper (Main -> Run MainWindow) Convert the resource file (where you can pack fonts and images) with pyside2-rcc.exe command line Convert the UI file with the pyside2-uic.exe command lineģb. Once you're satisfied with the overall layout, you're going to:ģa. Make sure you have the PySide2 package for Python available. At this phase I wouldn't worry too much about look and feel, with the main thing being layout (if you haven't used Qt before, this is a major pain in the ass, but once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze) Use Qt Designer (free) or the paid version if you have it to build your interface. You can go to their documentation repo here: If you're already familiar with/can program in Python, you're in a great place! My current project requires a totally custom UI and what I found to be perfect for pretty much any Python/RPi project needing a hand-rolled UI is Qt for Python.
This is actually a really fun topic, and it seems no one has yet thrown a suggestion in the ring, so I figured I could do a short write up on the direction I took. The best thing? The base model is only $20 $5!.ĭo you know a related subreddit? We'd love to know. Welcome to /r/raspberry_pi, a subreddit for discussing the raspberry pi credit card sized, ARM powered computer, and the glorious things we can do with it. Pi project ideas: There's a huge list right here on this sub! Is there a thin monitor/TV that will give me the brightness to my Mirror? I could (not easily) build up my frame but I would really prefer not to have to if I can avoid it.Friendly reminder: Please don't just post pictures of unused pis - do a project!Ĭomplete r/raspberry_pi Rules Check the FAQ and Helpdesk here
E ink magic mirror raspberry pi tv#
The thick TV has a 'light box' with backlight LEDs in it which is what gives it the depth and I learned also the brightness (learned by testing without the 'light box'). Here's the part that I learned but don't fully understand. The smaller TV that has great brightness in daylight is much thicker even with the guts removed - closer to 1.25" thick/deep. So why not just swap them out? The first TV which is bigger was truly 'flat' in terms of depth when I removed the guts - only about 1/2" thick which works great for my frame depth. That HDMI TV displays beautifully through the mirror in the daylight. I tried a different smaller TV that I use for some of my Pi programming work. I have set the TV brightness settings to their max. I blocked out any light that might get behind the mirror to bleed through. I took apart the TV to get the guts out and put in in my mirror frame (actually a real picture frame around the glass. The problem is the display brightness isn't even visible during the day.
