I successfully added more #RAM to my #epaper driver module by replacing the #ESP32-WROOM-32 module it came with with an ESP32-WROVER-32, only to find out #ESPHome has a bug which prevents me from fetching the image to draw on the e-paper display 😭

Software issues aside it's been a lot more challenging than I anticipated:

• I thought the longer module would stick out on the antenna side but no, it sticks out the wrong side
• Desoldering the original module has taken me a lot longer than it usually does and I don't know why. Probably lacking skills on my side. The module got damaged...
• ...which is quite convenient since I was able to use its little PCB as a shim to raise the new module above the other SMD components
• Of course I forgot to check if any pins on the short side were used. And of course they were.
• I was still able to fix my mistake with some bridges on the bottom side of the board to rewire them to other GPIOs

Now I'm too tired to debug ESPHome, I'm gonna do something else 😅

An ESP32-based board with a flex connector on the side which can be used to connect ePaper displays

The same ESP32 board, this time with a longer ESP32 module which sticks out a bit over some resistors of the board, slightly touching the e-paper display connector

The sacrificial ESP32 module used as a shim. All components have been removed, and the antenna has been cut off

I got the part I needed to fix my Watchy! Now I need to think about what I want to make to run on it. #opensource #opensourcehardware #sqfmi #Watchy #epaper

Watchy by SQFMI, an open source epaper ESP32 wearable

Here's video evidence of having finally achieved MVP status on my years-old #ePaper #cyberdeck concept. I wrote it up on the ol' #gopher log, but here's the TLDR:

#9P enabled me to build the perfect pair of ePaper
#cyberterminal devices -- now made whole with a unique
computing environment built on #Zephyr -- completed by
a #plan9 'rc' workalike shell, with commands for namespace management things and interactive chat over #LoRa --
fulfilling my initial vision for these devices!

XIAO ePaper DIY Kit – EE02 – An ESP32-S3 board designed for 13.3-inch Spectra 6 color E-Ink display

A very tempting new ePaper display kit from Seeed Studio next, featuring an E Ink Spectra 6 (not 6+, sadly, but we can't have everything) six-colour 13.3" panel.

Can't quite justify the cost, but it's getting there - this would have been hundreds of quid just a few years back.

Hmmm....
Wie realistisch ist es eigentlich, ein ESP32-ePaper-DevBoard zu nehmen, es mit dem WiFoOnICE zu verbinden, und auf dem Display dann sowas wie nächster Halt, aktuelle Geschwindigkeit, und irgendwas anderes anzuzeigen?
Ich glaub da muss ich HTML-Scraping für machen?
Auf APIs im Internet habe ich ja keinen Zugriff, so lange ich nicht auf den Button im Portal klicke?

Gude Stuzys,
wie versprochen melden wir uns noch einmal kurz zu Wort.

Alle die keine der druckfrischen Ausgaben mehr ergattern konnten, oder einfach nicht raus in die Kälte wollten, können jetzt – wie gewohnt – das Heft auch bequem online lesen. Das E-Paper ist online 🥳

Viel Spaß beim Blättern

It's an epaper android phone but I have never heard of it.
Any good?

And finally (told you it wasn't a busy day!) a neat colour ePaper smart display used as an automatically-updating calendar. The project was originally built using an LCD, but the move to ePaper meant maker Matt Gross could ditch a presence detector designed to prevent burn-in.

7.3-inch full color e-paper wooden photo frame is designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero

How did Pine64 drive the E-ink display in their PineNote? They used a Rockchip SoC which has a dedicated E-ink interface.

They documented the reverse engineering of the "EBC" peripheral but that doesn't really help anyone who is using any other SoC.
