Looking to improve our family’s morning routine, I decided to create an e-ink display that fetches and shows my son’s school timetable, sparing us the hassle of logging into the school’s website or app. Using an Inkplate display, Arduino coding, and Playwright web scraping, I was able to create a unique, low-power solution that updates the timetable automatically. While the MicroPython integration posed some challenges, switching to the Arduino library proved more reliable and advanced, showcasing the flexibility and efficiency of this DIY project. The e-ink display has become a reliable fixture in our home, simplifying our daily routine and offering endless possibilities for future enhancements.
