How to Make E-Ink Display UIs That Don’t Suck

Let’s be honest — most E-Ink display user interfaces suck. But yours doesn’t have to.
In this video, I’ll walk you through a simple but powerful approach to making UIs that are clean, fast, and won’t drain your microcontroller. ⚡

Here's what you'll learn:
How to properly integrate your E-Ink display driver
Three essential functions: clear(), drawPixel(), and drawRect()
How to build a lookup table to simplify drawing
Why drawing efficiently matters for limited resources
How to create a Python script that converts images into header files with lookup data

The creative step: designing icons (even if you suck at drawing)
✨ Bonus tip: Use tools like Canva if you're not a designer — it works!
📁 Output = a clean header file + macro you can include anywhere in your code
💡 Result = snappy, good-looking UIs that don’t suck

If you're tired of clunky, slow E-Ink interfaces, this video is your fix.
