Some micro hardware project to bring the busy schedule right in front of you

Need some monitor, so that you can see the pixels

The one I choose is some GDEY075Z08 E-Paper display. If interested, buy one here

I wrote a graphic library for this project, namely epui. Check its repo here.

I also wrote a display driver, which can be found here.

This default driver, namely EdeyDisplay, is built for raspberrypi. If you want to reproduce in other platforms or for other screens, just write yours.

# your_display.py

from display import Display
from PIL.Image import Image

class YourDisplay(Display):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__((600, 480))
        
    def draw(self, canvas: Image):
        # Do some stuff with canvas
        pass

Just take YourDisplay instead

# main.py
# -- snip --

if __name__ == '__main__':
-   display = GdeyDisplay()
+   display = YourDisplay()

    img = Image.new('L', display.canvas_size, 255)
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
    context = construct_ui(draw, display.canvas_size)

    main(display, context, img)

You will never know my api keys. Instead, fill in yours

cd proper_res
echo 114514 >> caiyun_key
echo '{"something": "other things"}' >> client_secret.json # this is for Google Calendar

Like in Driving the display, replace YourDisplay with LocalDisplay

# main.py
# -- snip --

if __name__ == '__main__':
-   display = YourDisplay()
+   display = LocalDisplay(800, 480)

    img = Image.new('L', display.canvas_size, 255)
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
# -- even more snip --

This time, your computer renders the 800x480 pixels high resolution image and pops the window right in front of you
