A small and very unobtrusive display

For an in-house project, we needed a small display that we could read from a few meters away, even in the dark, but that would remain unobtrusive when not in use. We were therefore very tempted by these displays that remain invisible when turned off, which is why we decided to use a 15x7 CharliePlex LED Matrix Display FeatherWing from Adafruit, driven by a Yocto-I2C-C, all enclosed in a 3D-printed plastic case.

Google Calendar on your Yocto-Display-ePaper-C

Twelve years ago, we built a DIY project that displayed upcoming events from a Google Calendar on a Yocto-MaxiDisplay that was built into a kitchen cabinet. This week, we're going to update this setup so that it uses our new Yocto-Display-ePaper-C module and shows the events on an ePaper display. We'll also take this opportunity to simplify the code and get rid of the OAuth2 authentication system.
