I was surprised just how great the 7-color e-paper displays were from waveshare!  So much so, I decided to try to trick my mother into thinking I gave her a different picture.  They really look like actual pictures (Even though a little news print-y).

Check out this video to see the whole story!

Also, I have another video that will be a paid video going up sometime early November, it's already edited, just needs approval from some stakeholders.  Thanks for being my patrons!

E-Paper Picture That Changes for My Mom

Ben, over at @Applied Science made a video on e-paper displays and got me hooked on this thing. Here is the link to the code: https://github.com/cnlohr/epaper_projects/tree/master/atmega168pb_waveshare_color And it links to the schematic. Here is the module: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1/5.65inch-e-paper-module-f.htm Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cnlohr

E-paper displays keep amazing me also and I didn't even know about this 7-color version. I know this sounds retarded but for someone born in the early 80s it's just difficult to find the words how weird it is the picture just sticks there! A very nice hack and great gift as well. None of that awkward wired LCD picture frame crap.
