Any guide for production use? #139

I was hoping on making a device (for fun) using only the screen. Is there any resources you could provide for this?

You can't use only the screen, you would need some kind of microcontroller to update what's on it.

What's the use case you had in mind?

Ah, ok. I see. I was hoping to keep the device as slim as possible. have the screen practically flush with the raspberry pi zero. It's seriously the perfect size, and I just find the e-paper so beautiful. But, with the headers and all, the thickness is a little too much for my taste.

If there was a design that had the pins to connect directly from the back side, that would be enough of a low profile I think. I just don't have enough knowledge of the project.

Have you tried the Pi Zero one? Or perhaps the HAT version with our official case for it?

alt-1

This is my setup.

I'm being too picky. This is great. I just got a 3d printer, and I'll make a case with this setup :)

Thanks for your time! Much appreciated.

You could try removing the plastic from the header and cutting the pins shorter?

Huh, yeah. I should try that! Honestly, that should work fine! I'll close this as it is solved.
