Thank you very much for this! Spent forever trying to get someone to give me a clear answer. Looking forward to this now :smiley:

It would work fine. I've built a magic mirror using a zero and a Pi 1.. they are more or less identical in terms of how much power they have . You don't need a lot of power for a magic mirror. Good luck.

Am I the only one repulsed by the idea of paying for shipping? It's just bothering me for something so small.

Agreed. Also is 1 per customer. I mean if your willing to pay £2.50 delivery each time...1 per order?

You must become apoplectic when you need to send a postcard or letter then... :smirk:

Take a look at C.H.I.P (getchip.com)
$9 computer. Wifi . 512MB ram, 4GB onboard flash storage (fast too, pi storage is unbelievably slow). Bluetooth 4.0+
Only issue is it doesn't come with HDMI (comes with a video out cable) but you can get an adapter.
It's pretty much same as a Pi Zero except it has bluetooth and onboard storage.
I have all the Pi's including the Zero and i have a C.H.I.P and I like chip best. Although these days I do most of my stuff with Arduino anyway unless I really want a linux based system / web based use etc.

What are your thoughts on attempting to get a magi mirror 2 running on a pi zero? Once its up and running would you see an issues with processing power on the pi using any modules?

Shame you can still only buy one at a time though. Do they even make more than 50 at a time?

There are two main distributors thepihut.com and pimoroni.com - both in stock, and identical pricing.
