Curious about building ultra-low-power displays that look like paper?

Join us for “*MakerChat 0x37*”, where we dive into E-Ink and modern display interfaces.
​
In this session, we’ll explore how E-Ink technology works and how you can start building your own dashboards and UI systems using it. We’ll also introduce the new Seeed HMI platform, making it easier than ever to design and deploy interactive E-Ink applications.

​Whether you’re a maker, developer, or hardware enthusiast, this is a great chance to learn how to create clean, energy-efficient interfaces for real-world projects.

​What you’ll learn:
​- Basics of E-Ink displays
​- Getting started with Seeed HMI
​- Designing E-Ink dashboards & UI systems
​- Practical use cases and ideas

​Build something that lasts on a screen that barely uses power.
