  • shan-shui-inf

    Procedurally generated Chinese landscape painting.

    • i bought the 6" display from eink.com to build a small personal art project - an infinite scrolling procedurally generated landscape based on this project - https://github.com/LingDong-/shan-shui-inf

    A few gotchas:

    1. some of these eink boards are hard to procure as a consumer. the vendors want you to be a company

    2. the driver boards are separate and sometimes have windows software (vs easy to use rasp-pi software)

    3. support is often difficult or from the OEM so english-language communication can be difficult.
