I recently came across this video talking about open-source e-ink screen that reminded me of a ESP32 powered development board I had lying around for a while. Today I finally got around to running the examples for the stuff. The getting started guide mostly worked out. Apart from couple of things like -
- “ESP32 by Espressif Systems board” version using latest was giving error hence ended up using 1.x version.
- Upload to board felt buggy, had to try couple of times.
The battery isn’t working so the content doesn’t update post removal of usb cable. Might get a new battery, for now planning to connect it to power via usb cable. Upload to board is more buggy than I thought before, at times its taking more than even couple of tries and never works on the first try.
