This is not something i expected myself to be writing about, but i think the hurdles, learning and overall experience doing this project are worth a blog post.
A close friend of mine had started tinkering with a color e-ink display a while ago, we talked about it and she proposed me to buy a bigger version of the display. Since we had planned to meet up it was a good idea for a time sink anyway, so i ordered a 7.3inch ACeP 7-Color E-Paper E-Ink Display Module, a starter electrics bundle and a debug probe for the Raspberry Pico W, totally unaware of what rabbithole i was signing up to. I should mention that my friend provided the PI pico at first.
