New layout for the #eReaderHat except it's not a hat form factor but a #CM4 carrier board. More details on the layout on the @hackaday project page

While the software is a mess I think the next step is making a similar carrier board for the #raspberrypi #CM4 form factor.
I'm also considering submitting this to the @hackaday prize for gits and shiggles. Should I?

Another not so exciting #eReaderHat update but successfully converted pixel data from #MuPDF into a #LVGL format. The hard part is over :blobcatjustright:

Not the most exciting #eReaderHat update but got #LVGL ported. Now, if I could only get that screen rotated...

New #eReaderHat PCBs are in! The design is much more svelte now with surface mount components. I think the hardware is in a stable spot now. I'll be focusing on getting a proper GUI library implemented. Currently looking LVGL.

3D renders for the latest #raspberrypi #eReaderHat Likely going to route another layout without the castellated module because I'm worried about board height.

It works! ðŸ˜
I realize now that the GPIO headers I soldered only work for the #raspberrypi zero and A. Will have to fix that in the next rev.
Also thanks @joeycastillo for open sourcing a SMT ePaper module. It made my life a lot easier.
