e-Paper Graduation Cap

Mortar board with e-paper display which is controllable through bluetooth.

Hardware

Contents

image_process.ipynb : This is a python jupyter notebook script to assist in converting images into the format expected by the e-paper display.

grad.py
: This is the python script that runs on the pi to drive the display and recieve input via bluetooth.

Setup

On your raspberry pi download the driver for the e-paper display from waveshare and follow their README instructions here

In addition you will need to set up bluetooth communication, I used the begining of this tutorial to set it up but the TL:DR is:

First: install the packages needed

sudo apt-get install bluetooth blueman bluez
sudo apt-get install python-bluetooth

Second: pair your mobile device

sudo bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# power on
[bluetooth]# agent on
[bluetooth]# discoverable on
[bluetooth]# pairable on
[bluetooth]# scan on
pair <mac address of your phone>

In addition you'll need a way to communicate to the pu via bluetooth. I found that bluetooth terminal apps for your smart phone a very easy way to do this.
