Re: E-ink wifi display project featured on Hacker News
Porting that looks interesting but probably non trivial. As a partial alternative we have an e-ink diver for the Pyboad https://github.com/peterhinch/micropython-epaper.git which can run in a micropower environment. The driver is fairly large and also requires a significant amount of RAM (8K) for the frame buffer so I have my doubts whether it could be ported to the WiPy or to ESP8266 boards. A solution might be to link a Pyboard to one of these boards, or to use a CC3000/CC3100 module with a Pyboard.
