@Acerola__t Yeah unfortunately due to ram prices they bumped up the price similar to steam deck :/ Though either way I think that what they offer is pretty great as a living room gaming box.

Quick update:
First things first, Merry chistmas everyone!
During this time period, I've been exploring new microcontrollers that would reduce the powerdraw, and it seems that the nrf52840 would be the best fit, due to its incredibly low standby current draw.

WE MADE THE NEEEEEWS

Yesterdays "Rīta panorama" recording went well. I hope that it looks good on TV too! 😅

[Sodium @SodiumPosts]

Displays have arrived, tested if they work, and everything works! Thanks to Frrrrrrreddie for assisting me.
Now we can finally start working on inkBuddy

[Sodium @SodiumPosts]

Figured out how ble works on esp32 fully, and now I am ready to actually start programming once the displays arrive, so expect to see more regular updates!

[Sodium @SodiumPosts]

Another day spent on schematic design. Got the power system ready, the last thing left is to create connectors for an EPD display and the touch pannel.

[Sodium @SodiumPosts]

Spent basically all day designing a schematic for our development boards. Connected up the basic parts for the esp32-c3fh4.

Whats left is the power management system, GPIO pinouts and a display connector, then we're off to PCB design.
Criticism is very welcome!😄

@GoodDisplayCN Looks awesome! Will consider this screen for our project in the future!

[Sodium @SodiumPosts]

Currently waiting on new screens and microcontrolers to arrive, so I can start working on inkbuddy again. Meanwhile I'm going to start designing a custom PCB for inkBuddy.

[Chris @ryycicle]

completed a rough UI desogn on the app meaning that coding will start soon

Sorry for the lack of updates with inkBuddy. We are currently waiting on more development kits and celebrating #Jaņi, like all latvians do. We hope to get back to developing your favourite buddy next week!

Happy holidays!

[Chris @ryycicle]

Had some free time, so I started to work on inkBuddy case quirks and a new personal project: weight and dumbell racks

Couldn't be more proud of what our student company accomplished at the JaLatvia organized #JUD student company finals.

We got the 3rd place out of ~1500 student companies in Latvia! 🥳🎉

Hope to achieve a lot with our idea!
