- Getting started with home information boards using Dakboard and magicmirror software with a raspberry pi. eventually we'll turn this into a smart mirror but we wanted to get this info display board up and running quickly.

Thank you. With your video I finally understood HOW to iniciate the Dakboard experience.
This is honestly the ONLY information I could find on doing this. We want to switch from a whiteboard calendar to a digital calendar for our employee's at work (we install vehicle accessories). I already use Google calendars, but sometimes forget to transfer it to the whiteboard, causing double-bookings. All I want is a display so our employees can see the calendar. I think this will work well!
Hey Sabrina did u ever figure out a solution to this!!! I'm looking for a program to help me do the EXACT SAME THING for my employees!!!! I can't find ANYTHING. I want like a task list that I can send from my phone to a large television for my employees to see in real time!
@@tigreytigrey8537 the Fall board was really nice when it worked but unfortunately we often got error codes and it wouldn't display. We ended up switching entirely to Google calendar and I shared the calendar with them so they can have the schedule on their phone
Dak, sorry
@@sabrinaa4872 aww. Man. I might just construct a raspberry pi (small computer drive like a fire stick on steroids) and have my web dev make us an app that I can send tasks through since I can't find what I'm looking for.
@@tigreytigrey8537 it's honestly weird how difficult this is to find!! I know I've seen displays like what I want before
This was so well done. Thank you for sharing! I'm just learning about DAKboard and Raspberry Pi so this is a newbie question. Can I set this display up on a touchscreen monitor? Then once I'm up and going, can I edit, add, remove activities & the layout by going to the Dakboard website right from the touchscreen?
Very very informative. You explained very well, Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I know this is an older video but glad ai found it. Got my sub now to get watching your other videos.
Thanks very much.
I can't wait to see the magic mirror version of this! 😃😃😃😃😃
Things have gotten incredibly busy. I hope to get to it by January or so.
@@BreakItYourself just curious if you have that up yet?
exactly i was hoping he will talk about Magic Mirror. if not it should not be on the tittle misleading
Very nice. Setting one up. Which home automation you used to get info on lamps out on the side?
Thanks for sharing I’m just a few weeks behind you on setting up.
you going with Raspberry PI?
Break It Yourself yes, got a 4 to work with. Really just looking for a set it and forget it info panel with family calendar as the biggest focal point (~5 google calendars)
Are you able to use your own photos for the back display?
How would we get this to be touch screen to interact with it?
Just curious, when you use Dakboard's schedule to turn on/off (for example, overnight), does this also power off the Raspberry Pi and the monitor? Or does the Raspberry Pi and Monitor stay on forever? Thank you for this great video.
Just the monitor turns on and off. If you want the pi to reboot you’ll have to do some coding in crontab -e I believe
@@BreakItYourself Okay, great. Thank you! I found a cronjob using "vcgencmd" which changes the HDMI power status to on/off on a schedule, and the monitor goes to sleep/wakes up. Unfortunately it seems that the Pi has to stay on perpetually.
Have you done a follow up on this video?
Thanks for the overview. You mentioned that you "downloaded" the Dakboard software, rather than buying the pre-loaded SD card. How did you do this? I'm not immediately finding that option anywhere...
Maybe blog.dakboard.com/diy-wall-display/ is what you were looking for.
I am very new to this and sorry if it's a silly question, but if I wanted to turn a two way mirror and have it display the info (without using rasberry pi) is that possible? I wasn't sure if it mattered on the type of display if I decide to use dakboard instead.
You need either a raspberry pi or the dakboard (which looks like a preloaded raspberry pi to me) you can't just run the software off a monitor, you need the hardware too. Hope that helps
Thanks for the video. That DELL monitor seems to be an old monitor that does not have support for HDMI, if I am not mistaken. How did you connect it to Raspberry pi? I've got an old 23" DELL monitor without HDMI support and I'd like to use it with a Raspberry pi on my very first project but I don't know how to connect it. Many thanks.
Can a person use an old android box
he said there are a tone of home information videos, but I can´t fond them. Can somebody help me?
Rather than having a dedicated display, would it not be better as a URL accessible from any device? Is there an update to this video?
@@Omniverse0 In other words, can I access this dashboard via my phone or a website while I am at the office? I do not see a way to do that covered in this video.
Whow to make this foto,started over with extremely detailed))))
Not sponsored, mentions their name 54 times in 7 mins :)
😂😂😂😂 I should really script these videos 🤦🏽♂️
@@BreakItYourself Eeeek sorry I thought it was scripted ;)
Need it to come on when it sees occupancy in the room. No point displaying to an empty room.
I have a 43 inch tv that I want to turn into a display and I want to use dakboard but I would prefer to just buy the micro USB and take it from there. Once I get the SD card and plug it into the raspberry pi4, how do I connect it? There's no steps that show what to do once you plug in the SD card.
I’m releasing a video in about a week that will show you. Does the micro SD card have anything on it? If jot you’ll need to flash the raspberry pi operating system onto the micro SD card.
@@BreakItYourself i planned on buying it from Dakboard already loaded from there website. I'm just clueless as to what to do after I buy it and install it in the pi4 and get it up and running. It would be greatly appreciated if you can explain those steps.
I may be a bit rusty here but once you have a dakboard account and you’ve created a display on their online GUI I believe it will generate a URL. That url will need to be coded into the raspberry PI. Let me see if I can find their blog post on it.
It looks like the micro Sd card comes with a “quick start guide” so that should tell you exactly what to do. If not then follow this: blog.dakboard.com/diy-wall-display/
@@BreakItYourself I think im going to go with the CPU that Dakboard sells. It seems like a easier plug and play than the SD card. I will await your video and see how you connect it and get it up and running. Thanks in advance
interesting but aren't there better solutions for android tablets,like action tiles ,the main plus there is you get a touch screen
I got a rootable fire HD 10 last year on prime day for like $60 and haven't even touched it
you also get Alexa and i think you can even install GA to it and it is not a huge eye sore
i wish they had the white model when i got mine , now not sure if the 2019 model is still rootable haven't checked XDA but i bet it will be cheap for BF or cyber Monday too bad they didn't add a built in dock connector on the new model as i hoped
It’s all about screen area. Getting an Android tablet that large and that reliable would be quite expensive.
UNLESS….
You simply grabbed a Pi4 and installed one of the various Android OS Builds for it. Finding a touchscreen that large would be quite hard.
Did you. Display with Rasberry pi
brother you repeated the options 3x AND YET you forgot to mention: >"Your Own Hardware - Any internet connected device that has a web browser will work! Use a laptop, tablet or computer"
mini computer is a raspberry pi....
haha i knowwwwww. It was a mess up
@@BreakItYourself I wouldn't say that, but they don't make it obvious. But it's easier to explain it.
This guy randomly saying "getting ready in the morning from like 4:30 to 6:00" made me overthink my life
hit us with some game steaks elk, bison, venison ect. lemme seee ittt
So, 7 minutes talking about DakMirror, yet the title says MagicMirror also... A little deceiving..
