But probably some of the GPIO pins on the ESP32 are usable (unless they're reserved for the touch pad buttons on the front, I can't remember).
I'm not clever enough to make it work, but I'm assuming its something to do with peripheral mode
I want to make an eink writing machine, something like a freewrite but not costing $500.
suggests there's a way to hook it up to a rasp pi, and that there may already be a demo project in the arduino library for typerwriter functionality. i'd recommend downloading their library and see what all it already includes
and then find an rasp pi project that makes it work similar to freewrite
however you can also do this just fine with the inkplate, just program the arduino itself to have type-writer like behavior
i'd recommend researching to understand the display refresh rates and how well it'd work for something like adding a single character
Another nice entry point is micropython. Some of the getting started stuff has gaps but overall nice and simple if you’re more comfortable in Python. Major libraries have ports so it mostly is an easy dive in.
