I have a few of these e-ink displays and love them! Though, I did manage to tear the ribbon cable on one when sliding it into a 3d printed case a little too tight... Great video!
Hi and thanks! One must be careful with that exposed wire. Actually, when I built this thing, there was a point where I could not update the display. Then I discovered that somehow some metallic dirt ended up on that ribbon cable and shorted two (presumably data) traces on it. So, I learned that this ribbon cable is not coated and insulated. 😅
