MagInkCal

My solution is based on 12.48 inch Magic Ink Calendar: https://github.com/speedyg0nz/MagInkCal A 12.48 Waveshare eink display costs $175. Sadly haven't gotten it to work with the Raspi Zero and therefore can't use it battery-powered. Got an ugly cord right now.

In the future, I might choose to generate the calendar on a separate RPi device, while using a ESP32 or PiZero purely to just retrieve the image from a file host and update the screen." https://github.com/speedyg0nz/MagInkCal/blob/main/render/ren... Its easy to design something nice looking in html and css and compute is cheap. Seems like a fine solution to me. Maybe even better since you can push the image generation somewhere else and just have the RPI update the screen with an image which would save lots of power. I've tried making nice interfa
