Awesome work! Now i just need to find a store -using- selling compatible tags:D

[@marcus_w0]

Sau cool Aaron! Awesome work. I'm still fiddling with the pricetags you send me around christmas time last year. I'm really looking forward to have a look into this project, this seems like the exact solution I was searching for.

[@ChunkySteveo]

This is awesome! My box of tags can finally get some use!

[@Metaln00b]

Wow, nice. Thank you for sharing this big improvement 🙏

[@DavidProffer]

Were is the best place to obtain compatible tags? There seem to be NFC, BLE devices. Thanks for your work!

[@steverileyretired]

Our local ALDI uses these, i saw one the week updating itself and was amazed

[@AgentOffice]

It's like a Kindle

[@wkdmind1170]

This is what brought me here, I caught one updating in Aldi and was amazed at just how clever it was. I work in an industry that could use this kind of tech for other reasons. And 6 hours after falling in this rabbit hole.IIm here with a box of screens en route Really great work from everyone involved. Excited to get playing.

[@StefaanHaesen]

Hey Aaron, love your movies ! Where do you get the price tags ?

[@fd7436]

wieder interessantes Video!

[@LaserGrunt]

Any experience with WoESL devices I have am some and the wolink USB Transponder broke. There has to be another option for a transponder but I don’t even if it’s BLE or LORA . I also would rather locally host the software instead of using the WoLink ESL via their cloud but I also can’t find that.

Cooles Video, bin erst jetzt darauf gestoßen (worden) Als AP verwende ich den Mini-AP V4 von Nic, habe vorher auch schon ein Paket 2,9 Tags erworben. Die hat er nicht mehr und ich finde auch kein Angebot von vorgeflashten Tags mehr. Deshalb eine Frage zu der Docking-Station, mit der Du den Tag geflasht hast: Geht der nur mit 2.9 Tags? Und wo kann man den bekommen?

[@Phettsack]

I have a few questions, I already have some tags with your modified firmware. Can I update them OTA with the "epaper-station"? Is the ESP32-basestation communicating over USB or is this just the power-supply?

[@atc1441]

Hey, its best to do a hardware update and not OTA. The esp32 only needs power and no usb connection

[@MAYERMAKES]

I'll grab the price tag box then... good thing i bought all the old sticks that are no longer used...

[@BitcoinLifeToday]

Aaaah cool! You're dutch! Super awesome!

[@roghibashfahani15]

hello brother my lecture give project to make prototype of pricetag, he want 1 arduino for multidisplay. can you help me with your advice

[@markberk253]

is it possible to buy the flex pcb somewhere? or do you have schematics for them?

[@atc1441]

You can find it here and order from the pcb service of your choice github.com/jjwbruijn/OpenEPaperLink/tree/master/Hardware/OpenEPaperLink%20Mini%20AP/PCB

[@RaffaelPI]

Hi, thanks for the video! I bought a REWE Display - but it have only 11 Pins on pin 12 is an "N". The name of this board is: NORDIC 7SEG VER03 LM / on the case: SLT-EM1043 - Did you ever had contact with this display?

[@bschwand]

anyone knows where to find those for sale in switzerland or germany ?

[@AgentOffice]

Fun

[@AntoineBoulinguez]

Hi Aaron, I've got lots of 6" e-ink displays with touch and light (for e-reader replacement), I can send you some if you're interested in a project.

[@atc1441]

Hey, please share some pictures [e-mail]

[@zyxwvutsrqponmlkh]

Seems like all the supported tags vanish off ebay. Meanwhile I'm sitting on all these useless Pricer brand tags.

[@walthermatthau9537]

Warum kannst du das Video nicht einfach in Deutsch machen, besser als schlechtes Englisch.

[@BollerwagenPicard]

the website shows SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE

[@atc1441]

It will work again in a few days, the https certificate needs to be renewed
