I know my chances of this are slim; But does anyone have any experience with 11.#" -> 13.#" epaper displays that don't cost a fortune?
I see lots of them but because they're Chinese panels. Generally this means they're untested, of questionable quality, usually don't accept returns, have pin counts that are odd and will take a month to reach me (not the worst, but sucks to wait knowing it still might be the wrong item).
I see some #waveshare panels but one + adapter board is almost $500 and that's not even close to feasible.
Glider (https://github.com/Modos-Labs/Glider) & GxEPD2 both list part numbers in their readmes (very bottom of the page) however even the 'tested' options list adapters that do not seem to be an obtainable item. #GxEPD2 seems to not have anything above the 1000x1000px mark.
So far I've tried to narrow down my hunt to >11", Minimum of 1000x1000 panel, with a 40-pin cable. 40p seems standard-ish.
It also appears that while I would love to use an #esp32 the bandwidth available via it's pins isn't high enough and program headroom is tight, so this may be forced towards a pi.
Anyway; Feedback anyone? Thanks!
