This repository contains the source code accompanying Analog Labs' (AL) DIY kit, How to Build an e-Reader. The e-Reader displays user-defined text on a low-energy e-Paper display and lets the user toggle pages using keys on the keyboard.

Components

The e-Reader can be assembling using the following components:

  1. Raspberry Pi (RPI)
  2. e-ink display
  3. Micro-SD card running Raspbian or another Linux-based OS that supports ARM7 architecture.
  4. Power cable
  5. This source code

The e-Reader kit can also be purchased ready to use out-of-the-box from Analog Labs. Each kit comes with an illustrated, narrative-based instruction guide on how to assemble your own e-Reader and use it to read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.
