Overview
A kitchen e-paper dashboard on the Seeed reTerminal E1001: four corners of your day on a 7.5-inch screen showing weather, news and markets, your sports teams, and whatever is flying over the house.
How it works
A small Python server renders every pixel with Pillow, compares the new frame with what's already on screen and sends the board only the changed rectangles. The plane corner uses live ADS-B data and switches to ISS passes or rocket launches. An optional line written by Claude ties the day together, and the three buttons page through detail views.
