# Rejseplanen E-Paper Display
This project is a creative implementation of a **Rejseplanen** bus and train schedule display using an ESP32 and an E-Paper screen. The idea is to emulate the look and functionality of the actual bus stop displays found in Denmark, but in a compact, energy-efficient form. The E-Paper display updates at regular intervals (once every minute) to show the latest bus and train schedules.
## Features
- **Energy Efficiency**: Utilizes an E-Paper display, which consumes very little power, especially when the content does not need to be refreshed frequently.
- **WiFi Connectivity**: The ESP32 connects to a WiFi network to fetch real-time data from the Rejseplanen API.
- **Minimalist Design**: The display is designed to resemble actual bus stop displays, providing a familiar and aesthetically pleasing interface.
- **Easy Customization**: Modify the code to adjust the city, fonts, or display parameters to suit your needs.
## Hardware Requirements
- **ESP32**: A powerful microcontroller with built-in WiFi.
- **E-Paper Display**: A monochrome E-Ink display that mimics paper, ideal for low-power projects.
- **WiFi Network**: Necessary for fetching data from the Rejseplanen API.
## Software Requirements
- **Arduino IDE**: For programming the ESP32.
- **GxEPD2 Library**: For controlling the E-Paper display.
- **ArduinoJson Library**: For parsing the JSON data received from the API.
## Setup
1. **Clone the Repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rejseplanen-e-paper-display.git
cd rejseplanen-e-paper-display
