A few gotchas:
1. some of these eink boards are hard to procure as a consumer. the vendors want you to be a company
2. the driver boards are purchased separately, are definitely required, and sometimes have windows software (vs easy to use rasp-pi drivers)
3. support is often difficult or from the OEM so english-language communication can be difficult.
- adiM 5y agoThis is very interesting. Do you have a write up on the procedurally generated landscape part?

- dmitrygr 5y agoI had the same idea a few weeks back. Until i tried it. the javascript there is VERY slow. on an overclocked r-pi zero in chrome it takes > 5 minutes to render one. A few min of r-pi 0 time (1.9W) will kill batteries fast...
