E-paper camera

The idea was to build a camera for kids that would display the latest photo they took on an e-ink screen. Part of the slow-tech idea — less screens, but still a camera.

It used a cheap ESP32 camera module (espcam) for capture and a T5 e-paper ESP32 module for display. I had a working prototype, but it still relied on two separate ESP32 boards and I stopped there.

Challenges included wiring the camera and screen to a single chip, and working with the quite low quality of the espcam photo sensor.
