NOTE: C++ is not a language I'm experienced in. The quality of the code is probably bad and makes experienced C++ developers cry. For me it works, I do hope people will help making the code better through pull requests.
What you need to build this is:
- 7x 2.13 b/w eInk screens (the b/w/r don't have fast partial refresh, it should work but it's really slow).
- MCU (For this project you need an ESP32 with 4 MB Flash)
- 3D Printer to print the case
- Soldering Iron (to solder the header pins)
- Some dupont wires are handy, but if you chain them using the 2x8 pin headers you don't necessarily need them.
This project has been developed and tested with Platform.IO. Don't forget to build the filesystem image and upload it to be able to use the web interface.
- Screens:
- Block Height
- Moscow Time
- Ticker
- Time
- API for Custom Text
- Web interface
- OTA update mechanism

The popular font Steelfish Rounded is not directly compatible and therefore not included, you can download it yourself for personal use for free, and convert it using fontconvert to use in this project.
By default Oswald is used.
