Teardown 2024 - Making E-Ink Go Fast @crowd

Uploaded July 2024 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

In this session, Wenting Zhang will go through the design of the Caster project, the basis of Modos Paper Monitor. Caster enables high refresh rate and low latency display on off-the-shelf E-Ink screen panels. Caster is an open-source low-latency electrophoretics display (like E-Ink) controller design, offering support for wide range of screens, flexible screen update control, and multiple dithering options. Zhang also recently turned it into a fully-fledged portable E-Ink monitor with Type-C and HDMI input which will be discussed as well.

$Teardown 2024 - Making Chips with Open Tools and TinyTapeout - Pat Deegan Presented by Pat Deegan: Microcontrollers, sensors, all sorts of dedicated chips make up the building blocks of the devices we create when designing circuits and PCBs. Someone makes these... that someone could be you! What was unthinkable just a few years ago is now possible: thanks to TinyTapeout and an ecosystem of open source tools, you can learn and actually produce fully custom ASIC designs. And if you want to hold real silicon that youve sculpted in your hands, its possible at a fraction of traditional cost. Digital, analog and mixed signal designs are all possible, and Ive created ASIC projects, and made demoboards, software and extension modules that interact with each of these. Ill walk you through my adventure and show you how you can enter the world of nanoscopic design, regardless of your level of expertise. https://www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/portland-2024/short-talk/making-chips-with-open-tools-and-tinytapeout$
