I released the source code of the Modos Flow (a 60Hz Eink monitor), and we already have community members experimenting with something different: youtube.com/watch?v=Okda... -Atkinson Dithering, honestly looking much better than the blue noise & bayer dithering previously implemented

Sorry for not posting for so long... I have been extremely busy working on my new project: The Enchanter (also called Modos Flow): a 300-ppi Eink portable monitor with 60Hz refresh rate and touch screen. It's fully open-source: gitlab.com/zephray/ench....

Does anyone know anything about this? It says its "Apple iPort", "Designed by HWTE in Shanghai", featuring a Micro USB port, 2 USB-C ports, and a 4.2" Eink screen. It doesn't function properly as a USB-C cable tester between its 2 ports, and I have no other idea on how to use it.

Have you ever heard about a type of screen called the *liquid powder display*? I didn't until I saw one of those on sale: (Item title says: Brand new Japan imported screen with original packaging and tray, new old stock, no datasheet available, price is 2 CNY each, or about 0.3 USD)

Finally wrote my own clone of the Image2Lcd. It's a software for preparing/ converting for use on embedded displays (like small 12864 LCD panels or Eink panels and such). I added a bunch of features missing from the original Image2Lcd such as dithering, bulk processing, and text/ font conversion

After a little over 2.5 years, today is my last day at Zero ASIC corporation as a digital IC designer. It has been a rewarding and fun journey. It is my pleasure to work with and learn from my wonderful coworkers. Starting from next year, I will be working on my personal projects full time!

I am just going to start randomly post photos shot with my Sitina camera here. I am not sure if I want to start sharing them on another platform (like... instagram?) or not. But for now, bluesky feels like home. These are shot with Sitina r0.12-B at North Quincy St/ Aquarium St/ Long Wharf in Boston

Let me re-introduce you to the project I am actively working on: the Sitina 1, an open-source full-frame mirrorless camera! I have made a short thread on this more than a year ago, but that was incomplete and also outdated. Given there have been lot of new people coming, I decide to write a new one.

Bought a prison laptop on eBay. Thought it should be just some generic laptop with a clear shell, turns out it's actually a bit more than that.

Bought a few NOS 8 inch reflective TFT LCDs. They were originally used on the Asus Eee Note EA800. It looks great and has a relatively high reflectance. Kindle (with Eink screen) for comparison. Note this is not memory LCD, and it consumes significantly more power (at ~100mW)
