#EInk

Writing my own display driver from the datasheet and using Adafruit's epd library as a reference. I see that in Adafruit's library there is a line,
"0x07, // VGH= 20V" (0b111)
This technical works but it doesn't do what it says it does. This byte actually tells the display to use its own internal voltages set in the following bytes. This just happens to work.
Doing this because there isn't a driver for my display in rust and there isn't a good one in C/C++ that supports partial updates.

Got my secondhand Kobo Libra Colour this week. I set up custom fonts (Lexend, Fantastique, Alice), KOReader with Date Time Plugin, transparent backgrounds, and e.Mote page turner for iOS/watchOS which I'm alpha testing. Speaking of clocks, I picked up a secondhand Spartus 1099 for $12. I like the large display size. It's sitting on a mousepad I found on the ground in the city that looks like a carpet lol

Update: vergeben

Möchte jemand dieses PaPiRus-HAT inkl. passendem Gehäuse (etwas verfärbt, passend für 2er und 3er Pis) und neuer CMOS-Zelle? Ich selbst habe hierfür keinen Bedarf mehr und zum Wegwerfen ist das Teil einfach viel zu schade.

Ich möchte nur eine mobile oder eine Internet-Briefmarke für eine 1 kg Warensendung (2,70 €) und ggf. eine kleine Spende an die @computertruhe.

Bei Interesse bitte per DM melden.

E-Ink Ekranlar her seferinde kapanıp açılmadan saniyeyi gösterebiliyorlarsa neden hiç bir elektronik alette görmüyorum!

OLED bile görüyorum, ama E-Ink Ekranlı bir cihaz henüz görmedim!

Ben de, kapanıp açılmadan saniyeyi gösterebildikleri zaman yaygınlaşacaklar diye bekliyorum!

Oysa zâten gösterebiliyorlarmış!

Tamam pahalılar, ama OLED Ekranlardan da mı daha pahalılar?

Oysa E-Ink Ekranların aydınlatma güneş ışığında soluk kalma gibi dertleri de yok!

One month with the Supernote Manta

Ok maybe a bit more than a month because I got it December 19th or so, but let’s not quibble.

I bought it because I wanted to be able to keep more history of notes with me for work. I don’t need much integration with anything like One Note, just my notes, in a slim package. Oh, and no worries about ink.

Endless separate notebooks and pages, search, keywords, headings, and all the rest are really nice extras to the extent that they work. More on that later.

A month +in, and I’ve yet to go back to a paper notebook for work or my journal, or even a legal pad for my various lists. I really doubted it would happen. Will it last?

Using greyscale mode on my phone for over a week now, I'm kind of wishing I had an e-ink phone.

And of course, that someone makes an e-ink phone that

  • has an unlocked bootloader
  • can run a FOSS android OS and not lose all the e-ink tweaks somehow
  • has at least an ok camera
  • is made by a company that respects the GPL

Sooo... not holding my breath, maybe? XD

I'm considering a tablet from remarkable. Not sure how well it works with Linux 🤔 does anyone have experience? I'm guessing I could transfer files without their app, but they sure do mention it a lot. Don't want to be stuck using android to sync. Can I export notes in a reasonable format?

E Ink tablets in 2026? Apparently, they're not just for your grandpa's e-reader anymore! Color E Ink is here, and prices are climbing faster than a junior dev's caffeine intake.

The big question: are these "distraction-free" devices truly worth the premium, or just a digital notebook with extra steps and an even bigger price tag?

I've had an e-ink e-reader for nearly a decade, but now that I've had a 10" monochrome Android e-ink tablet for a couple of months, I think I've joined the cult. I always want to spend time on it instead of my phone or laptop.

Back in the innocent days of 2012, I backed the Pebble smartwatch on Kickstarter. It was awesome.

Well, it's back, and has some very cool stuff coming soon! repebble.com

Very long battery life, cool E-Ink display, and a great size. Open-source and fun to program for.

I love their philosophy of making something different and fun.
