HTMAA Week 1
Assingment Description: Plan and model a potential final project!
Final Project Brainstorming
My initial idea was to create an information dashboard with an e-ink display powered by a raspberry pi pico. However, I decided to work on that project during weeks 2 and 3 instead and do something more ambitious for my final project, described here. However, my initial work for week one is below.
The Inky Frame 7 is a 7", 7-color e-ink display controlled by an onboard Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller. I have seen a few of these e-ink dashboards floating around the internet and it has been on my theoretical to-do list to make one for myself.
The basic idea of the project is to utilize the 'always-on' capability of e-ink displays to have a battery powered portible display on my desk for any purpose.
After a few CAD tutorials and some struggling, I created a crude model.
