New life to old Kindles (just the screen)?
They figured out the protocol for Kindle screens and designed a platform around them. The schematics and hardware design are on github as is the Arduino software, so if you want to play around with a screen you already have then that should supply all the info you need.

However what should be easily possible is that you have a web service that outputs a black and white image with whatever you want to display and then have that image displayed by using/modifying one of their examples here.

MH-ET ePaper module 2.9" help
Hi thanks for your reply. The thing is that i couldn't seem to find demo code on the website though i did find a GitHub repo by MH-ET Live. Going through to the ESP32 file bring me hereto the GxEPD zip file. I've downloaded, included the library in my Arduino IDE and tried running the example code, commenting out all the 2.9" variants but still no luck, the programme freezes at the init stage with no change to the epaper display.
