That looks kinda like my project down to the same board. Crazy. Not sure why hes charging for it, its very simple to program. And heltek comes with a plastic casing to begin with.

It looks familiar butbwith an eink screen rather than the heltek screen that comes with it. Cool little device he made.

I get the error code: 400 Bad request.

No idea. You may want to put it directly in your browser window tab. Maybe lemmy is doing something strange to the url? Its def a real link though.

That was with Summit. It works with Boost for Lemmy.

That's awesome. Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend then.

Give it a shot. The code is a bit piecemeal so feel free to improve upon it. I got a book working with upload and stopped there. Its a "good enough" solution. It goes to the next page and keeps the page when the power is out.

The code could probably need a tuneup. I haven't done C++ in 10+ years other than some tiny linux kernel patches and that was a bit ago.
