When I first heard of it (through a community member in discord), I wanted to see if I could replicate it on FrameOS (my software for running anything on an e-ink panel), and sure enough, I got quite close: https://scenes.frameos.net/s/bird-field-journal

This is obviously nowhere as complicated as OP's project, but I thought I'd just share that your project inspired me to build something similar too.

(I'm the author of a JS framework with the same name)

Compared to the previous gen e-ink (7-color ACeP), the contrast and the colors are so much better. I also have a bunch of 3-color (black/white/red) panels - video and more pictures on https://frameos.net/ ) - and the contrast is similar, but the colors are obviously limited.

So yeah, I'm definitely happy.

I just went through the process and made this for myself: https://www.printables.com/model/1189455-waveshare-133e-6-co...

The total price was around $420. This includes shipping, taxes (to Belgium), a pi zero w2, a sd card, and printing a case.

- This 13.3" panel cost ~$420 to make https://www.printables.com/model/1189455-waveshare-133e-6-co...

- This 7.3" panel cost ~$150 to make https://www.printables.com/model/1189420-waveshare-73e-6-col...

This includes shipping the panel from waveshare.com, paying taxes, adding a raspberry pi zero w2 + a sd card, and printing a case
