This is the Pimoroni Inky Impression

This is the Pimoroni Inky Impression. It's a beautiful color e-paper display that you can use with your Raspberry Pi. There's some fancy signs that goes on that basically pulls colored particles up and down on the display. These colored particles reflect light, they are visible under bright light. They don't need a backlight like most LCDs do, so they're easy on the eyes. Which is why people use these type of displays for e-readers. And the good thing about e-paper displays is that they also only consume power while they're refreshing. So for example, this image here, it just came like this. I never put this on here. The downside of this is that they do take a while to refresh. So these are best suited for projects that don't require constant screen updates. So I'm gonna plug in my Raspberry Pi zero 2 W and let's make this do something fun. I found this GitHub library that basically lets you have a map of the night sky on an e-ink display. So I'm gonna try to set it all up and this was really hard. I'm not a big fan of Python. I have no idea what was going on. Nothing was working. So I decided to go back to the basics and just look at how the Inky library worked. And then I tried to run some of their examples. So they had this one for comics and then look at this dude, it changed the screen to show the cover of one of the comic books. And this looks so cool. So I thought, you know, at this point, maybe the stars would work now. So I went back, ran that code again, and lo and behold, look at this. It's a constellation map of a specific latitude and longitude and this is so freaking cool. But yeah, I don't know. E-paper is just an insanely cool technology.
