An e-ink Mother's Day gift

Spring 2023 — Raspberri Pi project

The e-ink picture frame.

For Mother's Day 2023, I thought it would be a nice idea to make my mom a dynamic e-ink picture frame that changes photos throughout the day. Since it is made of e-ink, the frame wouldn't be too distracting in the environment. I found a tutorial online, bought a color e-ink display, connected it to a Raspberry Pi, and uploaded photos for the display. Check out the following pictures & video.
