    display newspaper frontpages on a visionect place & play 32 eink screen

    • That's funny -- I just did the same thing! We both must have read that same earlier post about Visionect and ran out and ordered one.

    I didn't get a chance to write it up yet but here's my software https://github.com/elidickinson/newsvision

    I skipped the HTML renderer and used the python library to push image data right to the display's frame buffer. Seems simpler if you're doing the hard work of turning it into an image yourself anyway. I also grabbed the full list of newspapers and used imagemagick to annotate each image with the paper name and location. It's a little hacky, but seems to work.

  • remarkable_news

    Daily news/comics on your reMarkable's suspend screen

    • For those who own a reMarkable tablet, you can get a similar effect on your suspend screen by running remarkable-news[0]. When suspended power consumption is very low (idle) and the screen is not powered, making it ideal for static content.

  • esp32-epaper-display

    Server and software to use an ESP32 as a connected display

    • Yeah, but it involves a lot of development. I made this a few months back : https://github.com/ugomeda/esp32-epaper-display

    I'm working on a more "user-friendly" version :)

  • imx_usb_loader

    USB & UART loader for i.MX5/6/7/8 series

    • Good news is that you can't trully brick a reMarkable v1 unless you break the hardware. I 'bricked' my reMarkable v1 before and used a tool to boot the CPU into recovery mode to load a new kernel over the usb port[1].

    Using this mode, I was able to unbrick it but it's a complex process so it's not for the faint of heart. It's still good to know that with enough elbow grease, you can always unbrick a remarkable.
