Compiling for the ESP32

  • Add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json in "Additional Boards Managers URLs" in preferences.
  • Install esp32 in boards manager.
  • Copy the esp32-waveshare-epd folder to your sketchbook location (see preferences).
  • In Arduino IDE select DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT v1.
  • Baud rate is 115200.
  • Code away!

Running the screenshotter

The screenshotter will take a screenshot of any webpage (preferrably in the right resolution, 640x384) and turns it into a binary blob. The ESP32 can technically show any jpeg image, but to reduce powerconsumption I chose to do that on the backend. In essence, this script takes a screenshot and turns it into a binary blob where 8 pixels are grouped into a single byte. A file is generated for the black/white screen and for the yellow/white part of the screen. Both are fetched by the ESP32 and shown on the e-ink.

  • Build the screenshotter/ Docker with cd screenshotter/ && make

I personally have a webapp running on my smart meter that generates a special webpage that's small enough. You can find that software here: https://github.com/m1dnight/homedash
