OpenBook gaining CircuitPython compatibility #OpenBook #CircuitPython @josecastillo

Adafruit is a huge fan of Joey Castillo’s OpenBook project: an open source eReader using a huge ePaper/eInk display. Based on a SAMD51 processor, Joey’s working on CircuitPython programming support:

Today’s second project: #CircuitPython support for the #OpenBook! It’s not 100% there yet — I have yet to get the screen working as board.DISPLAY — but I can create it in main and it “just works” with @tannewt’s IL0398 driver. This feels like a big step. https://github.com/joeycastillo/circuitpython/tree/openbook/ports/atmel-samd/boards/openbook

The Twitter thread has the architect of CircuitPython, Scott Shawcroft, volunteering to help. Part of the mantra of CircuitPython: code plus community (and of course open source).

See Joey’s GitHub repo for the code so far.
