Hey HN community, I've recently embarked on a tinkering project that merges the versatility of the Badger 2040W with the practicality of an E-ink display. Inspired by the UK Rail departure boards, I've created an E-ink version that updates in real-time with departure information. Would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or similar projects you've come across!
