Mailing a random company and getting data sheet for an old product in 2 hours is very surprising!

Thanks for sharing the exploration Aaron.

Hi Aaron,

I might just have some of these display laying around on my desk. I pick them up cheap on Taobao (about US$1 a piece). Then I found out they are EOL and wonder what I can do with them. If you are interested, I can send you some and see what you can do with it.

BTW, thanks for all the video, I really enjoy them.

I'd like to see Doom running on one of these.

I don't think I've ever seen these used in stores. Or, I never realized that they are e paper screens and not just paper.

Crazy that there is a backend database where the ID of ever etag is mapped to a SKU or UPC code. I hope someone doesn't have to type that in by hand.

Don't you think it would be easier to build your own ESL via Arduino or does using RF communication prevent it?

I'm trying to build these kind of ESL for myself but not to show prices, Idk how to do UUID in nRF52832 can I get some help regarding it? Configuring different UUID for each ESP to show different data.
