Scripts for my 7.5-inch e-ink display connected to a Raspberry Pi Zero W

Primary LanguagePython

e-Paper Display

This is a catch-all project to collect scripts for my e-Paper project. The hardware setup is a very low-power solution for displaying slowly-updating monochrome text and images. It consists of a Raspberry Pi Zero W connected to a 7.5-inch e-ink display.

The folders in the lib/ folder are taken from https://github.com/waveshare/e-Paper.

    "title_during": "Days until birthday:",
