Posh frames e-ink friends! Here's my generative newspaper: https://i.imgur.com/tD1t9u3.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/tD1t9u3.jpeg
My wallet stopped at 13.3" though :)
Update for those who saw me post it before: I recently charged the battery for the first time since hanging it in March, which met my expectations.
Shout-out also to the people at Halbe Rahmen, the best picture frames in the world.
- dheera 3y agoWondering if you have by any chance shared code and plans for the long battery life setup? Mine is still wired but I'm thinking of using ESP32 + deep sleep.
- sho_hn 3y agoI _still_ haven't set the GitHub repo to public :( Real-life intruded in a major way (first baby). esp32 + deep sleep + external RTC is what this is using. I posted some of my experiences with getting it as low as I could here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37663913 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37663913 Here's a few more pics: https://imgur.com/a/NoTr8XX https://imgur.com/a/NoTr8XX I found the mention of Blue Noise Dithering in this project quite interesting! I've not put a lot of effort into picking the nicest possible dithering method (just a basic Floyd-Steinberg) for the embedded article photos, partly because the whole newspaper look didn't seem to warrant it, but it might be worth taking stock of what the latest on dithering is.
- yohannparis 3y agoWhere is the information on how you built it?
- sho_hn 3y agoThere's some info on my Hackaday project listing: https://hackaday.io/project/190478-hyepaper https://hackaday.io/project/190478-hyepaper Also the album link in the other comment.
- yohannparis 3y agoThis is quite an achievement. I really like the curation and the process to make it a front-page. You automated your own editorial news. Love it!
- sho_hn 3y agoThank you!
- ancorevard 3y agoWhat was the total costs of the components?
- sho_hn 3y agoIf I recall right, about $500 for the electronics and $150-ish for the picture frame (it's a nice one with anti-reflective UV filter glass, because at the time I wasn't sure where I'd hang it and e-ink can be susceptible to UV light).
- lawlessone 3y agoYou could really gaslight house guests with this. Just deny it's changed.
- andrewstuart 3y agoDo you think people are fooled by any tech these days? I suspect people expect everything to be magic now.
- sho_hn 3y agoSo far my guests are mostly puzzled by "Why'd you frame that?" until I tell them it will in fact change and isn't my most prized selection of news articles :-)
