New idea - parallel Eink displays driven by a Raspberry Pi (or equivalent Linux SBC). What's the benefit? The RPI is inexpensive and much more powerful than any ESP32. It can chew through pixels much faster and do more interesting things with the display. The PCB cost is reduced since the RPI is doing all of the heavy lifting. Thoughts?
