Harry Potter Newspaper Powered by Raspberry Pi Zero #piday #raspberrypi

Inspired by the moveable pages of the Daily Prophet, Whitney Knitter set out to create her own PCB variant. The results are better than wizarding magic – the magic of open source! The custom Hackster Headlines uses a 2.9″ Flexible 296×128 Monochrome eInk / ePaper Display and a Pi Zero W.

See full details from Hackster.io:

I had recently been watching Harry Potter and the white white substrate with black text immediately made me think of a newspaper. And then I thought about how the eInk display could rotate a series of images to appear like they are moving similar to the magical newspapers at Hogwarts.

So off I went to go shopping on Adafruit’s website I went to see what eInk display options there were and what components I needed to drive it to put on my own custom Harry Potter Newspaper PCB!
