I'm absolutely thrilled with this e-ink display! Despite not being a professional programmer, setting it up was surprisingly straightforward using the libraries provided on GitHub. I'm using it to monitor my VPN/ LAN and AdBlock stats etc.- it's perfect for this kind of monitoring.

Very easy to get up and running - I used it to provide a passive display of server metrics with face inspired by Gerty from the film "Moon"! Pictured is its "mild concern" face. When it frowns, I know action may be required! It's perfect for my use case.

The product is great but the tutorial is not updated up-to-date. You should follow the instructions in the official github repo, not in the tutorial (it didn't work for me even with a brand new raspberry pi)

Ahoy Jeeyoon Sorry to hear that - please can you let us know some more details about what didn't work/what errors you got when you tried to follow the tutorial and we'll get it updated?

Love this display and the font options, brilliant for low refresh data display applications. Currently using with Pi zero as a weather display. :-)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! This is the second Inky wHAT that I buy, and they are _amazing_. I used it as a screen for a small controller in my house automation project (as in *my* house's automation project I'm doing), and I just love that it's so low power consuming and really well visible. If you need to increase readability you could add a white led to provide some ambient lighting, or at least that's what I did and it works for me since I'm really into low power consumption.

Great display. As the others in inky range, it would benefit from built-in buttons and mounting holes or at least some kind custom of frame/case.
