Difference between Migic mirror and Pipad

The only difference between the Magic Mirror and the Pipad is that the Magic Mirror uses a one-way mirror and the Pipad use Toughened Glass.

User Guide

To use the Magic mirror, you can use the pre-configured image which we provide or configure it yourself with the original Raspbian image. It is recommended to install pre-configured images for newbies or first-time installations. The pre-configured images have already installed the required libraries and drivers, and the program runs automatically after booting.

Method 1. Pre-configured image

1. Download the pre-configured image and write it to your SD card.

2. Add the following lines to wpa_supplicat.conf files in the BOOT directory. (if you didn't find the files, create them.)

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US
 
network={
        ssid="your_real_wifi_ssid"
        psk="your_real_password"
}

Note: you need to change your_real_wifi_ssid and your_real_password" to the real ssid and password.

3. Inset the card to Raspberry Pi and power on it.

Method 2. Configure image manually

1. Write a Raspbian image: Download the lasted Raspbian image from the Rasberry Pi website and write it to an empty micro SD card.; Create a new Txt file under the BOOT directory of the micro SD card and name it SSH.; Modify the config.txt file which is located in the BOOT directory, and add the following lines to the config.txt file:

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82
hdmi_cvt 1920 1080 60 6 0 0 0

Save and insert the micro SD card into Raspberry Pi.; Connect the Magic mirror to the network and power on Raspberry Pi.; After booting, you can access Raspberry Pi via SSH, or directly connect the keyboard and mouse.
2. Install WM8960 sound card driver: Open the terminal and use the following commands to install.

git clone https://github.com/waveshare/WM8960-Audio-HAT
cd WM8960-Audio-HAT
sudo ./install.sh

Modify the config.txt file, remove the following line from the file, or comment on it.

#dtparam=audio=on

Then reboot Raspberry Pi.

sudo reboot

After rebooting, check the driver by the following command.

sudo dkms status

If you can get the information below, it means that the driver was installed successfully.

wm8960-soundcard, 1.0, 4.19.58-v7l+, armv7l: installed

4. Install Python3 virtual environment.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-venv
python3 -m venv env
env/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
source env/bin/activate

Note: The following steps should be taken in the virtual environment, if you close the terminal and restart it, you should use the command below to enter the environment again first.

source ~/env/bin/activate

5. Install Snowboy.: Install libraries

sudo apt-get install swig
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
sudo apt-get install flac
pip3 install PyAudio
pip3 install SpeechRecognition

Download Snowboy.

git clone https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy.git
cd snowboy/swig/Python3
make
cd ../../examples/Python3

Modify snowbiydecoder.py file. Change from.import snowboydetect to import snowboydetect. Save and enable Snowboy.

cd ~/snowboy/examples/Python3
python3 demo.py resources/models/smart_mirror.umdl

Try to say smart mirror, you will hear ding and the information below are printed on the mirror

6. Install Google Assistant Service.: Create .asoundrc file in /home/pi directory （the user directory）

nano .asoundrc

Add the following lines to the .asoundrc file.

pcm.!default {
  type asym
  capture.pcm "mic"
  playback.pcm "speaker"
}
pcm.mic {
  type plug
  slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
  }
}
pcm.speaker {
  type plug
  slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
  }
}

According to the official guide to installing Google Assistant Service.

https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/service/python

Please follow the third step of the official guide to configure and create OAuth Client ID JSON file. Don't forget to copy the JSON file to your Raspberry Pi.

Following the fourth step of the guide to register the device model.

Install Google Assistant SDK.

(env) $ sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
(env) $ python -m pip install --upgrade google-assistant-sdk[samples]

Authorize model

(env) $ python -m pip install --upgrade google-auth-oauthlib[tool]

Genegrate credential

(env) $ google-oauthlib-tool --scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/assistant-sdk-prototype \
      --save --headless --client-secrets /path/to/client_secret_ client-id .json

Then you will get an URL, please copy it and open it on the browser of your PC.

Please visit this URL to authorize this application: https://...

Go to the URL, you are asked to log in to your Google Account and get the authorization code by following the guides, Copy the code to the terminal.

Please go to this URL: https://...
Enter the authorization code:

If the authorization process is done successfully, you will get the information as below.

credentials saved: /path/to/.config/google-oauthlib-tool/credentials.json

Use the following command to test.

googlesamples-assistant-pushtotalk --project-id my-dev-project --device-model-id my-model

Note: my-dev-project is the Google Could Platform ID of the Actions Console project you created. You need to find the project ID in the Actions Console. my-model is the device model name you create; Press Enter, and try to ask something.
7. Set auto-run: Install PM2.

sudo npm install -g pm2

Setup pm2

pm2 startup

You will get the information below, please copy the command and run it on the terminal.

[PM2] To setup the Startup Script, copy/paste the following command:
sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

Run Magic mirror by PM2.

cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-VoiceAssistant/pi
pm2 start mm.sh

Run snowboy by PM2.

cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-VoiceAssistant/pi
pm2 start snowboy.sh

Set auto-run.

pm2 save

If you want to disable the services, you can also use the following command.

pm2 stop mm
pm2 stop snowboy

8. Keep display lighting all the time.: Modify lightdm.conf

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Find the line "Xserver-command" below [SeatDefaults] section and change it from

#xserver-command=X

to

xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms

Then save and reboot.

sudo reboot

Note

1. If the wakeup word is unworkable for you, please log in Snowboy website: https://snowboy.kitt.ai, And add the new wakeup word.; Click recording icon to record voice and test if the voice model is workable; Download the model file and copy it to ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-VoiceAssistant/pi directory.; Modify snowboy.sh file

nano snowboy.sh

Modify the name to the one you download, for English, you need to modify the snowboy.umdl to yours

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-VoiceAssistant/pi
~/env/bin/python3 demo.py smart_mirror.umdl snowboy.umdl

2. Google Assistant Service can only support 500 requests every day.

Open ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-VoiceAssistant/pi/audiofileinput.py. You can enter the following code.

Follow the previous Google Assistant Service installation section to register an account, device model, and install authorization.
