Seeed Tracker L1 E-Ink. My only issue is that this case orients the screen 90 degrees off of the joystick mapping. I saw something about screen and joystick modifications coming to the inkhub interface but it doesn’t seem to be in the stable beta branch yet.
How fast does it refresh? Say if you're messaging people actively can it keep up?
Not sure about this one, but it depends on how you program it. If you program it like an led, it's horrible. But if you do it properly it's pretty fast. Animations kill the refresh rate. You can draw a new screen and refresh the whole screen in like half a second. But if you do something like a button animation where you change the color of the button then back then refresh the screen, you have three changes which can take a second and a half.
So, yes, if done well, you can send and receive messages on e-ink fairly well.
Unsure about this product specifically.
They have a UI, inkhub, specifically for e-ink displays.im not using it at the moment but I will in the future.
