Sau cool Aaron! Awesome work. I'm still fiddling with the pricetags you send me around christmas time last year. I'm really looking forward to have a look into this project, this seems like the exact solution I was searching for.

Awesome work! Now i just need to find a store -using- selling compatible tags:D

[steverileyretired]

Our local ALDI uses these, i saw one the week updating itself and was amazed

[DavidProffer]

Were is the best place to obtain compatible tags? There seem to be NFC, BLE devices. Thanks for your work!

[ChunkySteveo]

This is awesome! My box of tags can finally get some use!

[Metalnb]

Wow, nice. Thank you for sharing this big improvement 🙏

How can I flash one of these displays with the custom firmware?

[MAYERMAKES]

I'll grab the price tag box then... good thing i bought all the old sticks that are no longer used...

Cooles Video, bin erst jetzt darauf gestoßen (worden)
Als AP verwende ich den Mini-AP V4 von Nic, habe vorher auch schon ein Paket 2, 9 Tags erworben. Die hat er nicht mehr und ich finde auch kein Angebot von vorgeflashten Tags mehr.
Deshalb eine Frage zu der Docking-Station, mit der Du den Tag geflasht hast:
Geht der nur mit 2.9 Tags?
Und wo kann man den bekommen?

[Phettsack]

I have a few questions, I already have some tags with your modified firmware. Can I update them OTA with the "epaper-station"?
Is the ESP32-basestation communicating over USB or is this just the power-supply?

Hi, thanks for the video! I bought a REWE Display - but it have only 11 Pins on pin 12 is an "N". The name of this board is: NORDIC 7SEG VER03 LM / on the case: SLT-EM1043 - Did you ever had contact with this display?

[StefaanHaesen]

Hey Aaron, love your movies ! Where do you get the price tags ?

[LaserGrunt]

Any experience with WoESL devices I have am some and the wolink USB Transponder broke. There has to be another option for a transponder but I don’t even if it’s BLE or LORA . I also would rather locally host the software instead of using the WoLink ESL via their cloud but I also can’t find that.

hello brother my lecture give project to make prototype of pricetag, he want 1 arduino for multidisplay. can you help me with your advice

[BitcoinLifeToday]

Aaaah cool! You're dutch! Super awesome!

[AntoineBoulinguez]

Hi Aaron, I've got lots of 6" e-ink displays with touch and light (for e-reader replacement), I can send you some if you're interested in a project.

[markberk]

is it possible to buy the flex pcb somewhere? or do you have schematics for them?

[bschwand]

anyone knows where to find those for sale in switzerland or germany ?

[zyxwvutsrqponmlkh]

Seems like all the supported tags vanish off ebay. Meanwhile I'm sitting on all these useless Pricer brand tags.

Warum kannst du das Video nicht einfach in Deutsch machen, besser als schlechtes Englisch.
