Show HN: Open-Source E-Ink Weather Dashboard Powered by a Raspberry Pi

I’m pulling weather data from OpenWeatherMap and rendering the dashboard with HTML & CSS. Chromium captures a screenshot of the HTML, which is then displayed on the screen. This is a plugin for my open-source e-ink display project, featuring a 7.3-inch 7-color Inky Impression with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. A local web server hosted on the Pi lets you update the display through your browser and schedule automatic refreshes. github repo: https://github.com/fatihak/InkyPi youtube tutorial: https://youtu.be/L5PvQj1vfC4 building the weather dashboard: https://youtu.be/65sda565l9Y

Show HN: E-Ink AI Image (and Text) Display with a Raspberry Pi

I'm using the OpenAI API to generate images and text content from text prompts. This project features a 7.3-inch 7-color Inky Impression with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. A local web server hosted on the Pi lets you update the display through your browser and schedule automatic refreshes. All of the code is open source so you can easily build your plugins. github: https://github.com/fatihak/InkyPi tutorial: https://youtu.be/L5PvQj1vfC4
