I bought this Seeedstudio after my last weatherstation died. I purchased a Ecowitt Wittboy without a display and wanted to create my own display.

I was shocked how complicated some of the display examples were online and even in the example provided by the Seeedstudio cookbook for the device. I decided to go the Puppet route of the device pulling a PNG file for display update.

I quickly learned that all the default colors made the output unreadable and the font size was just too small. There were no good examples to follow to copy from that used Puppet.

I worked a few hours and modified several examples and came up with this output.

To help others in the future, I posted the files to github and I am still working on documenting the installation process to help others in the future. Github link: https://github.com/tollycat/ha-eink-wx/

For years I wanted to wear a Columbia shirt in the summer but they were never in my size. I now am finally in their size range after almost a year on Zep. I am down 117 lbs and moved from 5-6xl shirts to 3-4xl shirts.
