But works too slowly on single board computers

This works well enough for a static image, but I can't update it faster than every 3 seconds with the provided python library. With some tweaking, I was only able to get a partial refresh in 2Hz black mode, but that defeats the purpose of buying a dual-tone E Ink screen.

Pros
  • single board computer
Cons
  • updatable

Nice e-paper cap to show system stats

Slow update but good e-paper cap to show system status. I use it to show pihole stats and system status and update every 10 minutes. There is plenty of documentation and examples available online. Once you get the basics down, you can easily adapt the examples to suit your needs.
