I may have missed that IoT deadline, but eye on the Prize - I'm targeting Best Product anyway.

Above is what I've got working so far.

I sent out for a second round of PCBs, Green/ENIG. I added a few creature comforts, but sorry to say I kept it safe and stayed with the LT1945 for high voltage generation. The TI all-in-ones still had a lot of parts and I'm not super confident I can solder unexposed leads.

Anyway, hopefully this one doesn't need a bodge and I'll be publishing it. Here are the differences:

... and that's about it. Again, I'll publish it if I got it right this time - I don't want people to have to read all my entries to know not to build a version, haha.

And in the meantime I'll work on the second board: converting video inputs into something that can be displayed onePaper. From what I've seen, we can make this work - probably at 1.1 frames per second maximum, heh.
