I received a 2.9" E-paper display, and I hope to use it for showing the scores. The display module is manufactured by Waveshare, and comes with handy sample code for Raspberry Pi, Arduino and STM32. This was my first time working with...
So I've gotten as far as I want with the dev board from Seeed, I've just recieved a new one (RePaper) from adafruit - it has better libraries (less coding work/rework) and a BOM that's much closer to what my board will have - though I intend to ditch...
Of course the obvious solution for a display for a conference badge is e-paper or e-ink display. It has a number of advantages:keeps displaying with the device off, which means that you could even do without the battery, or — if you really want to have...

I received a Black And While 1.54 inch display module from Waveshare, and compared its current usage to the 3 Color model. The 2 color module is far more battery friendly than the 3 color module, using only about 1/4 the energy to do a screen update....

I spotted this quite late since they are already backed up:https://www.crowdsupply.com/e-radionica/inkplate-6I would love to give it a try. So I'm considering making a CALE version also for this display.
I was looking for good docs on E-Ink displays and found articles like Essential Scrap's tutorial for repurposing old e-reader displays, Sprite_TM's webpage-viewing low-power display, and the badgy project here on hackaday.io (coincidentally,...
I added a very simple back-case replacement for the original Waveshare 7.5" white case with magnets. Designed also a small cover for the Eink HAT so it can be easily glued to the back of the Eink, making Epaper and HAT adaptor a single piece for easy...
A quick research shows that all current commercial E-ink devices have a maximum grayscale level of 16. Is it a hardware limitation? Or is it possible to get more grayscales just like people have done on CGA, Commodore 64, GameBoy Color and many other...
