  • This may be totally off base from what you’re targeting, but maybe an ESP32 running ESPHome and connected to an E-Ink display such as those sold by Waveshare? https://esphome.io/components/display/waveshare_epaper/ You would probably need some separate system set up to actually generate the content displayed on the screen, depending on what exactly you want to show. It would require a fair amount of work, but would likely be the cheapest and most flexible option.

    There’s a feature in ESPHome which allows the device to call a URL to download an image at specified intervals, then display it on an attached screen https://esphome.io/components/online_image/#online_image which would require running a service somewhere that generates/renders a new image at regular intervals and makes it available for download via a local URL. For just simple text, I assume there’s a simpler way to update what the device shows over the network.
















  • The sole developer isn’t actively supporting Reticulum anymore:

    “The software remains available for use as-is. Occasional updates may appear at unpredictable intervals, but there will be no support, no responses to issues, no discussions, and no community management in this or any other public venue. If it doesn’t work for you, it doesn’t work. That is the entire extent of available troubleshooting assistance I can offer you.”
