What does HackerNews think of epdiy?

EPDiy is a driver board for affordable e-Paper (or E-ink) displays.

Language: C

I think the world of homebrow eInk devices is set to take off.

The problem right now is that while the screens have come down in price considerably, the driver hardware remains expensive and proprietary. If you want to build something for cheap, you'll be designing the PCB from scratch (as this author did).

Enter EPDIY, which brings wide support to a variety of screens using commodity hardware. It's still under development, but it's looking really promising: https://github.com/vroland/epdiy

Shoutout to the EPDIY project, which supports the ED133UT2 and is planning to support the 10.3" ES108FC1 in a future revision!

If you just need the display: AliExpress. If you want to drive it, I would recommend EPDIY (https://github.com/vroland/epdiy).
