Source code for my e-paper picture frame

Primary LanguagePython

dispatchPi

A communicating e-paper picture frame, powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero

The e-ink frame displays an image pulled from a fixed URL at regular intervals. At this URL resides a Flask app hosted on Google Cloud Run. Whenever it is pinged, it pulls the latest image received in a Gmail inbox and overlays text extracted from that same message.

There are two folders to browse here:

  • Screen contains the code found on the Raspberry Pi device
  • Server holds the code hosted online in a dockerized Flask app
