  • E Ink Launches E Ink Gallery 3 Color (Rollable) EPaper

    > I rather mean the firmware of the e-ink driver board, which is a trade secret. I don't know, maybe it is not even firmware in an MCU, but they have a dedicated driver chip and it just has the look-up-tables. Anyway, the secret sauce that tells you how to drive the display cells.

    Huh? What e-ink driver board? There's no such thing inside a Kindle. It is a straight NXP SoC that drives the e-ink panel directly. There is no MCU. The driver is open source. https://github.com/canselcik/libremarkable/blob/master/refer...

    "Secret sauce that tells you how to drive the display cells"? You mean like a voltage table that is also present inside every LCD or OLED? The difference would be that the electrophoretic display would need a much bigger table so it would have to be kept on the SoC. That's not software, that's just a big table of voltages that's hardcoded for each unique panel. Is that what you think is "secret sauce"?

  • Can we build an app for remarkable 2 with Rust?
    1 project | /r/RemarkableTablet | 7 Jan 2022
    Maybe take a look at https://github.com/canselcik/libremarkable
  • Opinion: Remarkable should embrace the open-source community and use it to perfect its software, and focus on hardware.

    Well, it'd be easy to test out the latency of a libremarkable demo and compare it to the default software.
  • Feature Request: Add a supported means to install applications to the remarkable 2
    2 projects | /r/RemarkableTablet | 29 Jun 2021
    First, the remarkable is a fantastic device! However it would be even better (in my opinion) if on the menu of the ui below the "Ebooks" tab there was an "Applications" tab where users could add binaries/applications of there own choosing and run them from within the xochitl ui. There is an active community of hackers and enthusiasts who are writing applications for the remarkable that would greatly appreciate a supported means of running custom programs from within the existing ui, without having to utilize a 3rd-party launcher or leave xochitl. relevant links: https://github.com/LinusCDE/retris https://github.com/canselcik/libremarkable

    a) The (actually multitouch capable) finger recognition is a separate piece of hardware to the pen recognition: See https://github.com/canselcik/libremarkable/wiki/Hardware-Overview, especially Reading from Wacom I2C Digitizer Reading Parade TrueTouch Gen5 Multitouch Input

  • astro-rs: Attempting to port astropy to Rust
    3 projects | /r/rust | 26 Jul 2022
    Yes, I should have mentioned one of the goals is pure Rust - I started in a Windows dev environment, and never could get projects like https://github.com/mindriot101/rust-fitsio to run natively; for now I’m hoping to maintain the cross-platform flexibility for this project, but I’ll definitely look into Marlu more, if it provides enough benefit, it’s easy enough to add that constraint
