Grrrrr.

@Lydie I'm hoping it is a smidge under the value they usually check for, but we'll see!

@tink woo! Can't wait.

Now they're just trolling me!

The journey of a thousand miles finishes with a prolonged wait at an Evri sorting hub!

Grrrr. This piece of hardware needs to be controlled by an #Android app.
Looks like it is still targetting SDK 28.
Despite me granting it all the permissions, it is still throwing an error.I can't seem to find a more recent version of it on *any* app store.
For future scholars:

Version 2.1.2If you want to try it https://file.io/VmtESDG0aPFg

Woo! Finally here and working.
I've bought a couple of 4-colour eInk badges.
They can be flashed over NFC or BlueTooth.
Full review coming soon - but let me know if you have any questions.

@Edent yo that looks really cool, is it something like this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007864502249.html

@benjojo similar. That one has, I think, a built in NFC badge.
This is the one I've got https://www.mrbretail.com/hsn371-battery-powered-electronic-name-badge-product/
It has a battery in it, so it can work with Bluetooth rather than just NFC.

@Edent gosh that's a lot of flickering - maybe to prevent stuck pixels on transition?
I feel like it needs to look like the moving pictures in the newspapers from Harry Potter.

@sarajw Yeah, black and white eInk can move pretty quickly - but colour still takes a lot of work.
-
@Edent How much did they cost you?
-
@andydavies ~£16ea + £3 for the battery. I had a free shipping coupon for AliBababa.
-
Graphic Design Is My Passion etc - but there is only so much you can do with four colours
-
@Edent Which four colours do you get?
-
@billgoats all of them
Black, white, red, yellow. What more do you need?
-
Trying to work out how best to reverse engineer this eInk badge.
I have a Windows app which communicates with a USB dongle. Could I sniff the communications from VirtualBox to my Linux host?
I have an Android app. I can decompile it, but I'm not really sure what to look for. Can I wireshark the Bluetooth LE connection it makes?
Thoughts gang?
