Features

DIYable

Those parallel interface E-ink displays have way better specs and costs cheaper. However they require additional hardware to create the driving voltages, which require a custom PCB and SMD soldering. This project (at least for the development hardware) does not require any special tools or custom PCB. Those display are really tempting though...

NDIR CO2 sensor warns you if the CO2 concentration levels are too high

High CO2 levels can cause drowsiness, tiredness, and decreases productivity.

Built in lithium-ion battery allows you to keep it around you

You don't just study or read in your house, do you? Big 1800mAh battery keeps it powered for multiple days.

High precision temperature and humidity sensor

Keep comfortable while you do your work. Built-in fan keeps air flowing for the most accurate readings, all in a pocketable package.

Big ePaper display tells you the information you need at a glance

3.7" ePaper display capable of displaying not just current sensor readings, but also trend graphs, podomoro timers, todo lists and reminders, calendar schedule, vocabulary lists, you name it.

Hardware

Currently a prototype hardware unit is used for development.

More information about the hardware will be released in the future.

Here's a brief list of the bill of materials:

  • Firebeetle 2 ESP32 development board
  • Waveshare 3.7" ePaper display HAT
  • Senseair S8 LP NDIR CO2 sensor
  • SHT31 temperature and humidity sensor
  • 1800mAh lithium polymer battery
  • microSD breakout board
  • 25mm 5V 0.35W DC fan
  • 2 sliding switches, 1 SMD soft silent switch, 7*2 female pin header
  • Wire wrapping wire, 1mm cardstock, transparent projection film (as screen protector)
