It’s not the easiest to set up yourself - need to generate Spotify API keys and build the unnecessary separate binary for dithering, but here’s the project if anyone is interested!

- technobabbler 4y agoHow much did the hardware cost? Is e-ink still super expensive?
- tarsiel 4y agoIt’s not bad! This is the display I’m using: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/5.83inch-e-paper-hat-b.htm https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/5.83inch-... You can use any raspberry pi to drive it (or any microcontroller really) which is pretty cheap too.

- GekkePrutser 4y agoOh nice they are actually in stock again. They were unavailable so long I stopped checking. Thanks for the tip
- richardanaya 4y agoThe prices on rapsperry pis that can drive eink are so low the make ArtFrame's prices look way beyond what i could justify.
- m-p-3 4y agoTry to find a Raspberry Pi lately though, most places are currently either out of stock or selling them at a higher price since the supply can't meet the demand.
