I had the pleasure of demoing PaperBack last weekend for attendees at the Silicon Valley Hardware Meetup at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. Thanks to Supplyframe, @Tindie , and Hackaday for organizing.

All of the new changes are reflected in the PaperBack repo.

I demoed some recent work on the color rendering for 4-bit color mode (16 'colors') on the EPaper to good reviews. Above you can see 'Starry Night' adapted for the greyscale screen.

I also built a proof of concept for a demo at my employer, Twilio, where you can text in an MMS and I'd render it in 1-bit (black & white) on the display.

The infrastructure on that one is:

WiFi -> ESP32 -> ngrok -> Flask

That one is a bit more complicated to get working (and hackier, given the constraints!). If you're interested, send me a message and I promise to help you get you going with it.

I also received some feedback on where to take PaperBack next... Faster framerate? HDMI?

What do you think?
