Open post Bjørn Göttler @bjoerngoettler@mastodon.social · 6mo ago Replying to @M0CUV@mastodon.radio <p>Has anyone tried modifying store e-ink shelf displays to turn them into useful gadget displays? I see them in many stores now - some are around 4 inches square, quite a useful size, with several colours. I looked on Aliexpress, and they certainly don't seem cheap in unit quantities - £35ish? There must be economies of scale for shops. Pimoroni sell their 'Inky wHAT' 4.2" 4-colour display for £36. Are there cheaper options? <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/eink" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>eink</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/display" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>display</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hamradio</span></a> (ish)</p> @M0CUV@mastodon.radio@atc1441@m.youtube.com This guy does a lot with them. I spole to a shop owner, and she pays pretty much the same price as the rest of us, so not much savings buying bulk there
