D-reader project

This was/is a project to create a functioning E-reader for my partner, which would also allow for an external trigger for page turning. The project has had two main iterations, sadly I didn't chronicle the first iteration very well and have few images of it intact, to add insult to injury the CAD program I used to design it was a student version so the files are now useless to me. This repo contains the redesign using FreeCAD in which a wooden case (instead of 3d printed PLA) is used, along with all the software for running it.

I have tried to document the development process, source code and CAD/CAM. If you are interested these are split between the pages.

• Requirement Analysis
• Mechanical Design and CAM
• Electronics design
• Software design
• Lessons learnt

Acknowledgements

The project would have been impossible for me to complete without the OpenSource code created in the following projects:

• IT8951 Display driver
• Various bits of HTML parsing, inspiration for decoding EPUB
• Micropython for the trigger device
• Inspiration for powering the device one and off
• ulab for fast maths on embedded devices
