What is this?

This repo is the source code for a personal display that uses an Inkplate 10 e-ink panel. It will ultimately show a series of "what happened on this day" images, current year progress indicator, and the weather forecast

Current State

As of now the display can:

• Display images based on the date
  • images are loaded from a micro SD from a path day-images/%M/%D/%I.png
    • %M is the month
    • %D is the date
    • %I is the image index
• Display a matrix of boxes, each representing a day in the year, acts as a visual representation of how far in the year we are
  • As the date changes, boxes are filled in

TODO

• ability to display random text from api
• display weather forecast
• display when it was last updated
• data should be cached
• sub reddit info
• dad jokes
• include scripts used to generate images
• extract all networking code
• battery indicator

  • screen size
  • duration between slides
  • location (for weather)
  • network credentials
