I would buy this indeed. I like working outside and it's not very good at the moment. I think projects like this should do this as Frame.work 'plug-ins' though. We really need some type of open 'shelf parts' company that just makes for a hardware / software ecosystem of compatible hardware and software (drivers).

I came here just to say this too. They don't need to reinvent the whole wheel again. In this case all it is needed is to change the screen and add the Electrophoretic Display Controller. That would be the most efficient approach.

Someone will do it, but this is the second eInk article in a month or so from different people. If they only would spend their valuable time on making a screen for the Frame.work and post the schematics in GitHub. They can sell it and make profits because someone needs to make that assembly as an easy addon for Frame.work; they might even sell it as option?

In the previous discussion, I also learned about RLCD which I vaguely knew about when Qi Pixel was a thing but it seems to have improved. So one of those for the frame.work too, and all is good!

Thank you for the feedback. When we started working on this project, the frame.work was not available, or it's mainboard; we are exploring this approach as a possibility.
