“I love this kit. You can easily hack following the instructions and the GitHub community is also super helpful in case you want to explore further.
I strongly recommend to everyone and I am also using Badger as my new work badge :)”
“Such a cool idea! It's a great way to get in and start learning about eInk displays and the Raspberry Pi RP2040.
Love this. Thanks for putting it together!”
“It took me a few hours to figure out how to get thonny to see the badger, but as soon as I did it was suoer easy to modify the code and customize it. The images work best if you resize them in gimp before trying their conversion python script”
“Very fun!! Either off-the-shelf hobby electronics are vastly improved over 10 years ago, or I've gotten smarter since my early teenage years - who knows which is true.
I was expecting just the display, so discovering a fully functioning little OS (and a really easy-to-use IDE to mess with it) was delightful. I volunteer in about 8 different capacities, so this gadget is also extremely useful. Finally, I can effortlessly switch my credentials between Provincial Convention Delegate, Vestryman (St. Stephen's), and Village Museum Committee Chair.
One note - given the display's small size, I was surprised that the default text drawing tool is vector-based. I think it would be really cool to see some pixel font support - but no problem, it's something I can work on myself.”
