  I believe the inky impression might have tutorials available, but heres their sample code
  https://github.com/pimoroni/inky/blob/main/examples/spectra6/image.py

  …i now realize I don’t have my code up anywhere though, but its basically that on a cron job to cycle through a directory of images.

  You grab a pi zero 2w, or maybe anything with the standard pi gpio connectors slap that on the back of the display and you should be good to go.

  It’s incredibly awkward to mount on a picture frame, and the weight of the pi does cause it to sag to one side, so might be better as a table frame than a wall mount.

  These are pretty easy to DIY with something like the inky impression 13 (a spectra 6 display), a pi zero 2w and a tiny bit of python.

  Haven't figured out a good coorless option but its a fun weekend project.

  Bought myself a little digital audio player (basically the new name for mp3 players) and have been enjoying porting rockbox to it / listening to my local library.

  There's a still a few cd/record stores in town which is pretty awesome for second hand stuff.
