🖨️ ePaper displays are ultra-low power and sunlight-readable, but come with slow refresh rates, limited colors and relatively high prices. Perfect for digital signage, electronic labels and eReaders.
🎥 In my spare time I created a video tutorial to explore using the same 4.2" monochrome ePaper (400×300, SSD1680, SPI) display with two different controllers: the @seeedstudio EE04 with XIAO ESP32-S3 and the ePaper Breakout Board with XIAO ESP32-C3.
#ePaper
Prototyping display mechanics for my never-ending concept #VT102 terminal project. Oak frame with real glass cost 7 e from the local shop. The passepartout is a bit rough, but it's the best I could do before getting some sharper knives. Maybe I could replace it with a veneer sheet.
And finally, that oh-so-tempting 13.3" E Ink Spectra 6 display I wrote about back in January is now available as a ready-to-run smart frame - complete with battery good for a year's worth of daily updates on one charge.
Still can't justify the cost, but... yeah, that's lovely. Nice one, Seeed Studio!

Update: vergeben
Möchte jemand dieses PaPiRus-HAT inkl. passendem Gehäuse (etwas verfärbt, passend für 2er und 3er Pis) und neuer CMOS-Zelle? Ich selbst habe hierfür keinen Bedarf mehr und zum Wegwerfen ist das Teil einfach viel zu schade.
Ich möchte nur eine mobile oder eine Internet-Briefmarke für eine 1 kg Warensendung (2,70 €) und ggf. eine kleine Spende an die @computertruhe.
Bei Interesse bitte per DM melden.

E-Ink Ekranlar her seferinde kapanıp açılmadan saniyeyi gösterebiliyorlarsa neden hiç bir elektronik alette görmüyorum!
OLED bile görüyorum, ama E-Ink Ekranlı bir cihaz henüz görmedim!
Ben de, kapanıp açılmadan saniyeyi gösterebildikleri zaman yaygınlaşacaklar diye bekliyorum!
Oysa zâten gösterebiliyorlarmış!
Tamam pahalılar, ama OLED Ekranlardan da mı daha pahalılar?
Oysa E-Ink Ekranların aydınlatma güneş ışığında soluk kalma gibi dertleri de yok!

@nycki this is neat! I'm not colourblind but I do use an #epaper monitor that's greyscale for most of my work. This will be one less time that I have to switch to a bright screen!
(I scrolled through the colour list on that epaper monitor, so I only saw various shades of grey, but I'm sure they're fine 🙃)
Do you think she belongs on a magazine cover?

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 😅

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
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
