Overview
Turns an old jailbroken Kindle 4 NT into a power-efficient dashboard. The Kindle only shows an image; you render the dashboard however you like on another machine.
How it works
A script on the Kindle periodically fetches a PNG over HTTP, displays it and suspends the device to RAM until the next update. You need Wi-Fi and an SSH server on the Kindle (via USBNetwork). The author renders a Dashbling dashboard to a screenshot on a server.
