Nice!!! A second screen is useful, but e-ink makes it even better, What is the BOM cost?

Probably somewhere around £50 (less if you’re buying in quantity), most of which is the panel itself
I ended up paying closer to £160 (including shipping, taxes, 5 PCBs and enough components to make 2 extra boards except the panels)

How is the height of the e-paper screen?

About the same height as the spaces between the keys on the keyboard

Are you planning to building and shipping this to potential customers?

This is awesome! Probably the best way to display system info without draining the battery!
If you are planning on selling these once you’re happy with it, I’m 100% down!

This is awesome!
I was just thinking a touchpad would fit the space well, and then I could replace the native touchpad with a blank. :thinking:
