Here’s a refresher: Amazon gives anyone with an Amazon account (that’s you) 5GB of free storage space on its servers. I mentioned Amazon’s Cloud Drive and Cloud Player in the first chapter of this book because they are both important to the Fire. You can add music to your Fire in three ways: upload it from your computer to your Amazon Cloud Drive by using the Amazon Cloud Player, transfer it to your Fire using the Fire’s USB mode, or buy it from the MP3 store on the Fire. I've got the clock at v0.7 now (Here's a Youtube video ov v0.6).Learn More Buy Adding Music to Your Fire Here's a slightly out-of-date video (showing some of the older fonts and no date info) on YouTube Currently also working on adding the current weather and temperature, and a 24-hour and 7-day forecast using the OpenWeatherMap API. The digital also has the date in format ("Saturday, August 15, 2020"). The Digital currently supports 2 fonts, (Digital Monospace, and Roboto Thin Italic). The Analogue has 2 hands and the relevant hour and minute tick marks around the 12-hour clock face. Currently there are 2 modes Analogue and Digital. I'm busy developing the code to make a really nice clock interface. I bought myself the 800圆00 6" epaper dispaly from Waveshare. But I don't want to (1) buy a whole new kindle to just be a bed-side alarm clock and (2) I don't want to void warranties by rooting any devices just to do so.Īlso, I've looked at the PaPiRus, but it's way too small, even the big 2.7" one. I've found people that have turned a working Kindle into a WiFi Pi terminal. Where should I start figuring out how to insert tab A (Kindle Screen) into slot B (Raspberry Pi) and then get them to start talking to each other.
But it'd be nice to be able to touch the screen and the back-light will come on for a few seconds and then go off again so that I can see the time if I want to. So the idea, is to hook up a Pi to a new replacement Kindle screen so that there's no light. Even a very dim LED bugs me and will keep me from falling asleep.
This means that I need another alarm clock next to my bed.Ģ: I sleep in total pitch-black darkness. It'll have a nice big e-ink display screenġ: Right now I use my cellphone as an alarm clock and I think that having that next to my bed is keeping me awake at night, so I want to move my cellphone out of the bedroom completely. Make a rather expensive bed-side alarm clock.
What I need to know is where to start doing research in how to render stuff on a replacement Kindle (preferably a paperwhite) screen. IT CAN BE DONE - read the comments below! You need an ASIC (Applicaiton-Specific Integrated Circuit) to drive the display. I'm leaving this here for others that may be looking for this.
