more fast e-ink! here’s @farayofsun’s beautiful dappled sun piece, and evan wallace’s webgl caustic renderer. i feel like pieces emulating nature work particularly well on this display.
and here’s @mxsage’s lovely “36 points” running on this 60hz eink panel with the @Modostech glider driver board

here’s a quick demo of a macos writerdeck i’m throwing together with this 60fps eink display. you can see more of the ghosting in this demo, but i feel it works well enough for light typing and browsing.

You probably don't need to know that: For about 50 dollars you can add touch to any screen. I added touch to my 60fps eink screen!!!

Four years, countless PCB revisions, and one custom FPGA controller later: a 60fps, 300ppi, open-source E Ink monitor is finally real. youtube.com/watch?v=nHbA2-_q…

Yes!! Flickering emissive screens are entirely alien objects to our biology, acting as hypnotizing portals for our awareness, the foundation on which disembodied dissociation into the digital can occur. Paper-like screens on the other hand are continuous with our environment. They let us to stay in our bodies, breathe easy, let the mind wander. It’s a much more species-appropriate and humane way of computing.
I got an e-ink phone and it has caused me to begin theorizing

The founders of @Modostech share how they created the Modos Flow, a complete #e-paper monitor. ”We want the whole thing open source, so all our parts need to have open documentation with nothing gated behind an NDA.” buff.ly/amuDbfV

I have just made our latest product (Modos Flow) open-source: gitlab.com/zephray/enchanter. With complete source code (for both MCU and FPGA) and PCB design source file in KiCAD. It's a 300-ppi Eink portable monitor with 60Hz refresh rate and touch screen:

An e-ink display can be used as the front panel on a Steam Machine (used for testing by Valve, will not be for sale) youtu.be/bWUxObt1efQ?t=947
