I came across this idea here on Hacker News a while ago – a small weather display using an ESP32 and an e-ink screen to show a daily weather landscape. I loved it and shared the idea with a friend of mine. He went all in and rebuilt the whole thing in Rust – from the image rendering server to the embedded code on the ESP32.
It's a clean, minimal two-part project:
A Rust server fetches weather data from MET Norway and renders it as a landscape image.
An ESP32 downloads and displays the image on a 2.9" e-ink screen.
