Waveshare E-Ink Raspberry Pi Zero W 7 5" 3 colour Sub Counter.
Mike Makes It
I've already created an LED YouTube subscriber counter based on an AZDelivery ESP8266 Node CPU board and an Adafruit 0.56" white seven segment I2C display in the past but this time we will be using a Waveshare 7.5” 3 colour E-ink display and a Raspberry Pi Zero W.
This sub-counter is based on the first E-ink Sub counter I every saw (which I was amazed by) created by Michael Klements (Link below) . I have altered the code a tad and hopefully simplified the software install and build as I was new to Pi when I saw the original project and was a little confused. Hopefully the way I have presented this project should be straight forward even for builders with little or no knowledge of Pi.
Not many components are needed for this project and construction is very straight forward. I've listed most items below. The software implementation is also very easy if you follow my Google drive notes. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
