I wish electronic ink hardware were not so expensive. I have a lot of ideas that would like to use it.

Big displays are spendy, but small ones aren't so bad[1]. They would be good for a sensor readout or something, at least?

Thanks for this. Looks like a good excuse for playing with hardware finally for me.

"Weaponizing and Gamifying AI for WiFi Hacking: Presenting Pwnagotchi 1.0.0" [1] is the one I am currently building. Waiting for my Waveshare 2.13" monochrome v2 and UPS lite 1.1. Make sure you get v2, as it has a far better refresh capability (less artifacts) than v1.
