• WARNING: The trace between VIN and VUSB must be cut!
  • Demostration of cutting the trace on Adafruit Learning System.
• Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 500mAh from Adafruit
  • capacity chosen for a good trade off between weight and power
  • TODO: measure how long board will run with different capacities.

• uses EPD215 Arduino Library by Jarek Lupinski for his E-paper Teensy Shield
• requires pinout modification:
  • example: bringahackmfba17-dorkbotpdx.ino
  • EPD215 epaper( 17, 16, 14, 15, 13, 11 );
• rotation hack in EPD215.cpp
  • text and graphics wil be upside down without this
  • quick hack to set rotation based on Adafruit documentation:
  • Landscape mode:
    • _rotation = 1
  • Portrait mode:
    • _rotation = 2
  • I don't use this for the examples program that just display bitmaps as I just flip the image before generating the byte array from the bitmap file

TODO: library should be modified to accept rotation parameter
