#Inkycal Makes Short Work Of E-Paper Dashboards

My final (for now) set up for the #inkycal. Feeling pretty good with how this looks! I uploaded the file to printables so others with a #waveshare 7.5" #epaper screen can use it.

I think now I'm going to focus on adding some features to the Inkycal project. First adding the ability for the events to spill onto two lines so I can increase the font size. Second, I want a more compact layout; have the times moved to the left under the date so as not to waste white space.

One feature I would LOVE for inkycal to implement is for events to spill over to the next line.

Currently I have to keep the font size pretty small in order to fit the full team names on one line (and this is even after I shortened the names manually). I’d love to be able to increased the font size so it only shows only a few days of events, and then it would be readable from across the room.

I’m still making improvements to my epaper sports calendar!

I created a minimalistic-style stand for the bare display that shows the entire screen, printed on my #BambuP1S.

If it works well I might submit it to the #inkycal project, these displays are a weird size that defies cheap frames.

Currently printing out the next iteration as I type this. The part on the left side will go all the way to the top of the screen, so it hopefully looks a little more seamless.

I loaded the latest version of #Inkycal onto a spare Pi and 7.5” screen and nailed it to the wall above my TV.

I saw that Inkycal now supports 12.5” screens natively, and I have one of those kicking around so I might move this project to that display; it’d be a lot easier to read from afar. But that’s for another day!
