In this video, I show you a little gadget I built to make my life a bit easier. It is an ESP32 (Lolin32 Lite)-based circuit with an e-ink display, an 18650 battery and some other small stuff. It is a nameplate that you can put on your desk or on your door at the office. It can be used to indicate your status, location and so on.
