Now that I have my MagicMirror² up and running on my Raspberry Pi Zero W. You probably want to clone your SD card you are using to boot up your MagicMirror² up and running on my Raspberry Pi Zero W. The best way is to clone it. You can do it in an easy and …
Now that I have my MagicMirror² up and running on my Raspberry Pi Zero W. It’s time to look at the MagicMirror² LCD and the mirror part of this project. At first I will start with the MagicMirror² LCD as this is the most logical order. LCD Display I still had an old laptop …
This is a Project, that’s for a really long time on my bucket list! The MagicMirror², so time to realize this one. Despite the fact that the Raspberry Pi 0/1 is currently not supported. I want to install the MagicMirror² on my Raspberry Pi Zero W anyway. So let’s start building. MagicMirror² MagicMirror² is an …
In my previous blogs I started a new project Raspberry Pi® – Powerunit® with a follow up about the software here. Hereafter I designed the PCB in KICAD here. It used to be, that buying PCB’s in hobby quantities, was expensive and filled with gotcha’s. Now, places like Seeed Studio can send your PCB’s to …
In my previous blog I covered the hardware and software and part II here for my Raspberry Pi® – Powerunit® project. Now its time for the PCB Design. KiCad Although KiCad (pronounced ‘Kai-Cad’, not ‘Key-Cad’ like the thing that goes in a lock) is the new hotness when it comes to PCB design. The amazing growth …
Because I’m currently busy with several Raspberry Pi® projects. I found that some of my older MicroSD cards where not preforming as I tough the should. In my experience, one of the highest-impact upgrades you can perform to increase Raspberry Pi® performance is to buy the fastest possible microSD card especially for applications where you …

Powerunit® Project – Software phase Now that the everything is working I want to fine tune the software a little bit more, and make …
One thing that was still missing for me on the Raspberry Pi®, was the inclusion of some kind of power switch or Powerunit ®. Considering how many common Raspberry Pi® projects could make use of this functionality. Still, we’ve lived with this problem with the old version for a long time, and there are plenty …
I want to extend my storage but it also has to be redundant, so I don’t loss any data that’s why I’m going to build a Raspberry Pi® 3 with RAID Storage using Some old 2.5″ HD drives, the Linux native RAID application MDADM. It’s pretty easy and shows you how to create a Linux …
In my previous blog here I wanted to extend my storage but it also has to be redundant, so I don’t loss any data. That’s why I build a Raspberry Pi® 3 with RAID Storage using Some old 2.5″ HD drives (You can also use USB sticks). Now we going to extend this installation to …
