IMPORTANT: This repository contains components added as github submodules. Please clone it using
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/martinberlin/bistable-smart-switch.git or if you already cloned it without them just run additionally: git submodule update --init --recursive
This is a project that started with the idea to use small, and inexpensive, SPI epapers with touch. The ones that I've found available and met that criteria are produced by Good-Display in Dalian. The idea is very simple:
