I made a Pico powered E-ink tarot card reader, complete with random 'glitches'
I used this e-paper driver, alongside this driver that supports partial-refreshes. I simply load in the partial driver for the animation, then unload it and load in the other, for displaying the final image. I tried combining the drivers, but it was a bit too much for me to understand right now. I did, however, modify the init function on both of them, to make swapping between them faster, and to speed up the card-display.

e-Paper and Pico W not working together
By the way, I invite you to try my driver for this screen: https://github.com/phoreglad/pico-epaper/tree/main. It's much faster than the original (especially the PIO version) and allows changing the screen rotation. One caveat is that current version doesn't really support partial updates.

Hey y'all, quick question for a noob: is there a straightforward way to shrink a byte array? (For storing/displaying images)
See the IMG folder in the github page https://github.com/phoreglad/pico-epaper/tree/main/examples/img

LoveBox: E-paper display project to leave my girlfriend notes and pictures remotely. (Pi Zero W, Waveshare E-ink Display 7.5", Firebase Real Time Database)
Looks similar to a weather display I did a while back. Nice work on the enclosure!
- Got some cool ideas?

Using Brain-Computer Interface Device to read electrical activity if the brain and then send control signals to Raspberry Pi so that it can toggle LEDs
It is. My first one was, and it was an awesome place to start leaning to work with the PI.

Raspberry Pi 3A + Pimoroni Inky Impression 7 colour e-ink screen + Ikea Himmlesby 10 x 15 cm frame + Some janky Python and Bash scripting = A quite serviceable, automatically updating art gallery
Woah. This is way better than the Waveshare one that I’m using for a weather display. (Shameless GitHub link.)
