# Inky Pal!
This is an e-ink status display that I set up during Maryanne Wachter and Sara Bobo's NGW workshop about e-ink displays!
## Some ideas
I kinda want to have a line-art illustration on one side of my display (or maybe as a background?) with calendar information and some oblique strategies or self-care tips.
Here are some public domain animal illustrations I found, which might look OK on an e-ink screen:
- https://pixnio.com/art/line-art-illustration-pictures/illustration-line-art-black-and-white-drawing-of-sandhill-crane
- https://wpclipart.com/animals/birds/B/Bluebird/Bluebird_BW.png.html
- https://thegraphicsfairy.com/public-domain-rooster-image/
- https://www.publicdomainpictures.net/en/view-image.php?image=159727&picture=elephant-african-clipart
- https://thegraphicsfairy.com/vintage-animal-clip-art-fox-drawings/
Or I could just dither some art?

## Other Setup Notes
You need to enable the SPI interface on the Pi.
Raspbian provies `raspi-config` from which you can select "Interface options" then "SPI".
