My Inky Dashboard (2022)

  OK. What's yellow ice?

    You’ve been warned.
  • politelemon 2y ago
    In the UK, weather alerts are at different levels of yellow, amber or red. Yellow Ice Warning = it's an ice warning, level yellow. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/guides/warnings https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/guides/warnings

      You needn't have responded. Pretty sure the poster you're replying to was just taking the piss.

        Not at all. Never heard of it. In US, we only have "black ice".

  I know e-ink has a nice look to it, but for a dashboard connected to a raspberry pi (that needs power anyways) is there any other reason not to use a cheaper LCD monitor instead?
  • slow_typist 2y ago
    You can shutdown the Pi between refresh cycles, too, but would probably need an external circuit to wake it up again. For microcontrollers, a capacitor and a resistor is usually enough. But if you don’t care about the extra efficiency and don’t want to play with the technology, there is really not much left to justify the e-ink display.

  This looks like a solid entry level hardware project for anyone interested in raspberry pi and e-ink technologies.
