Overview
A standalone Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W e-ink frame that runs Stable Diffusion on the Pi itself and generates an endless series of pictures with no internet connection. The default prompts produce flower pictures in styles that suit a 7-colour Inky Impression.
How it works
OnnxStream runs Stable Diffusion (including SDXL Turbo at custom resolutions) on the Pi Zero 2 W. Each image takes about 30 minutes to generate and about 30 seconds to refresh on the e-ink panel. Subjects and styles come from an editable prompt file, and newer versions add buttons to page back through earlier images.
