It's using a different display, but the hardware should work. For the software to work, you probably need to write your own driver for your paticular display.

- Fri May 12, 2017 3:24 pm #65869 I found this blog post that looks pretty cool: http://blog.tindie.com/2017/05/e-paper-iot-door-sign/ . You can even buy the fully assembled product!

Unfortunately, there is no way to update the display wireless. Has anyone created an epaper CRM?
