Crafted a simple device that shows daily motivational images. This is my first hardware project ever, and I wanted to create something practical and useful. Below are the details and products I used for this project:
For more details refer to: https://hackaday.io/project/163812-e-ink-motivational-book
The hardware used was:
- Pi Zero W (I bought it used from ebay: ~8 USD)
- e-Ink Display (~45 USD)
- Office Depot Battery (~2 USD)
- Wooden Structure (Got few items from Michael's and a close friend helped me design it: ~10 USD)
Software:
- NodeJS (Backend)
- SQLite (DB)
- Bootstrap (Frontend)
Every day at 7:00 AM (EST) the device will pull fresh motivational images from Reddit/Imgur. The device will show each image every 5 minutes. The web application allows you to review, reload or delete images. It also serves as a dashboard to list the total images for the day.
