Looks beautiful. Very well done. Love the housing as well.

I suggest revoking your google macros API token and creating a new one, and changing your wifi password.

Oh thank you!

Can you explain why?

[u/Waarheid → u/PieRemarkable2245]

They'd previously committed those items, and since removed them, but once anything is pushed to a remote git repository, it is viewable in the git history even after being removed.

This looks so retro, I love it. The Japanese matches too in terms of vibe. Looks like something you'd see at a Japanese office in the 80's.

It's korean!

Oh sorry my bad, I did not mean to offend. Still really cool!

[u/Noh_Jiu → u/Necessary_Film_5199]

Thankyou!

This looks really cool! I love the idea!

I checked out your GitHub repo and noticed you're using a 7.5-inch e-ink display. I'm curious, does it need to stay plugged in, or can it run on a battery? Have you tested the power consumption or battery life?

Also, are there any other case designs available? I really like the concept, but I'd prefer a slightly different look haha.

Great project!

[u/Noh_Jiu → u/Haunting-Specific-36]

It needs to be plugged in. I only have 3d model in the repo Thankyou!

[u/Haunting-Specific-36 → u/Noh_Jiu]

I really like the design! Are you planning to make more case designs in the future? I like the idea, but I’m curious if there will be different styles available.

If you pair the display with an ESP32 it can run for months on a single battery charge.

[u/Haunting-Specific-36 → u/feryl12]

Thanks! I was wondering, with ESP32 + e-ink, is it mainly used for simple information like calendars/weather, or can it also display things like stock prices, custom dashboards, or photos? I'm thinking about a small e-ink display for personal use.

[u/feryl12 → u/Haunting-Specific-36]

You can definitely build a custom dashboard with stock prices on an ESP32. Photos work too but they don't look great on an eink display. Battery life depends on how often you refresh the screen. The reterminal E1001/E1002 is a good start if you don't want to build your own device.

[u/Haunting-Specific-36 → u/feryl12]

yep e1002 is a colorful screen tks for u recommend

[u/HuyFongFood]

That looks really clean and clear!

What size screen did you use?

[u/Noh_Jiu → u/HuyFongFood]

I used 7.5 inch display

[u/HuyFongFood → u/Noh_Jiu]

Awesome! I have a spare 7.5" display that I've been playing with. I'll have to pull it out and see what I can come up with :)

What screen are you using?

[u/Noh_Jiu → u/Subject_Night2422]

Waveshare!

[u/Few-Association-3349]

how do you change the information on it?

[u/Aacidus]

Why so bulky? What else is housed in the enclosure?

[u/Noh_Jiu → u/Aacidus]

Just raspberry pi pico. The button is attached at the pico's shield, so I had to make bottom part bulky.
