So @karb had the idea for a sign with changeable text that a suiter can carry around at cons to show other people and I really liked the idea ^^
We decided to use an e-ink display for power efficiency reasons. It was not easy to get my hands on a big enough display, but with the help of some connections I managed to buy this 13.3" e-ink display (roughly A4 size). It also has red as an additional color besides black and white which is kinda nice ^^
Today I finally ordered the board I designed to communicate with the display and I'm quite happy with how it turned out (Karb made a really nice looking logo for it :3). Now I just have to wait for it to arrive before I can solder it and test if it works (and hope that it doesn't destroy the display immediately :blobfoxlaughsweat:)
I'm also thinking about creating a channel (probably on Telegram) to post more details and progress on this project and other projects I'm working on ^^
