Show HN: Modos Developer Kit Live on Crowd Supply

https://www.crowdsupply.com/modos-tech/modos-paper-monitor
11•alex-a-soto•6mo ago
Today, we’re launching our first product on Crowd Supply: a fast, open-hardware dev kit for driving e-ink displays.

It supports 75Hz refresh, both color and monochrome panels, and more.

This all started with a post on Hacker News about building an e-ink laptop. That post led to conversations with makers, minimalists, and others exploring how e-ink could fit into daily life, or help with personal health challenges. From those conversations came a community, which grew into a project, became a company, and brought us to today’s launch.

We bootstrapped from the beginning, pushing through COVID shutdowns, chip shortages, shipping delays, and adapting to every new challenge along the way.

We haven’t built the e-ink laptop yet, but we’ve built a foundation for creating high-performance e-ink devices.

We’re sharing our small contribution today in hopes that it helps make e-ink more open and accessible.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

This is a pretty cool project. (I backed it too :-)) The really interesting bit has been watching the development of the FPGA driver. That really de-mystified a lot of stuff about 'waveforms' and 'grey levels' for me with this technology. I'm hoping that if this gets funded we'll also get some 3D printable picture frames for this tech. I'll put it up next to my invisible computer[1] and have my complete day at a glance :-)

Hi! Thanks for backing us! We made an effort to attend conferences to share the work we’ve been doing.

Our repository also has a lot of information https://github.com/Modos-Labs/Glider

We’re working on enclosures, though picture frames also sound like a cool idea!
