Technical overview

13.3-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Embedded Raspberry Pi 3A+ as the controller platform: 64-bit processor with four cores at 1.4 GHz, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.2.
Toughened glass capacitive touch panel with 6H hardness and support for up to 10-point multitouch.
Built-in speaker, MEMS silicon microphone, and 3.5 mm audio jack.
Voice control via the Snowboy speech model; the device recognizes the wake word “smart mirror” and emits an audible signal.
Mounting holes on a 75 x 75 mm grid (M4); the package includes a stand with a 75° tilt angle.
Difference from the Magic Mirror variant: The Magic Mirror uses one-way mirrored glass, whereas the PiPad uses toughened glass.
Pre-configured images already include the required libraries and drivers; after booting, the application runs automatically.
Manual installation requires adding hdmi_group=2, hdmi_mode=82, and hdmi_cvt 1920 1080 60 6 0 0 0 to config.txt.
For audio setup, the WM8960 sound card driver is installed via the waveshare/WM8960-Audio-HAT repository and then verified with sudo dkms status.
The Google Assistant service is limited to 500 requests per day; configuration requires an OAuth client ID file, registration of a device model, and authorization via google-oauthlib-tool.

Notes and version constraints

The source contains placeholders such as {{{name2}}} and {{{userDefinedInfo}}}, indicating incomplete templates; these fields must be replaced with concrete values before publication.
The described steps are version-sensitive: Node.js 10.x, specific kernel versions (e.g., 4.19.58-v7l+), and path names may vary depending on the OS image.
The Google Assistant service has a daily request limit of 500 requests; this must be considered for production use.
The Snowboy model must be downloaded and copied into the ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-VoiceAssistant/pi directory; the exact model file is not explicitly named in the source.
Power supply is via a 12 V / 1 A adapter with outer diameter 3.5 mm and inner diameter 1.35 mm; alternative power supplies must keep ripple within ±5 %.
Some instructions reference external URLs (Google Drive, GitHub, Nodesource) whose availability is not guaranteed.
The source mentions CE and RoHS certifications under “Authentication Information” but provides no details on certificates or test reports; this should be verified before release.
