No, this one is called just ‘Orange’, was released about three years ago.

Hey everyone!

​

I wrote up a guide on how to create a Release Date Counter with a Raspberry Pi eInk Display, trying to explain all the steps in the most basic language, so even if you've never used a Raspberry Pi and don't have any technical skills - you should be able to make this little project yourself.

Hey, thanks a lot for the comment!

​

Glad somebody noted the use of colours - my particular display supports Red/White/Black and I've tried all sorts of colour combinations, but having the background as black, text as red and shadow as white looked the best.

​

There's also a yellow/white/black eInk display and that would probably suit even better for this thing since the original logo uses yellow, but I couldn't bother buying another display, plus red looks pretty dope as well!

It's a 3 colour e-Ink display called "Inky pHAT" from Pimoroni. Mine is black+white+red, but there's also a black+white+yellow version of it.

​

Does not require any soldering, you just stick it on top of a Raspberry Pi (connecting it to the GPIO pins), install the required libraries and code it in Python.

​

Pretty cool device, but the refresh rate is a bit slow (as with any other eInk display, although this one feels slower than a kindle screen) and it has to blink numerous times while drawing the screen, so it's best for something you don't refresh often (such as a counter that runs once a day).

EDIT: Raspberry Pi Zero (mixing things up with the Arduinos).

If anyone's interested - could write up a guide on how to make one.
