Heltec Vision e290 E-Paper Build

A new Blackout Comms DIY build is now available, based on the Heltec Vision Master e290. The e290 has proven to be very stable over the past few months, so a couple of new products that use it will be made available soon. For now, the plans to build it yourself are now available for download/print.

• E-Paper display is nicely framed and fully visible

• Room for a realtime clock and GPS

• Fits a 4000 mAh or smaller LiPo

• Space for external hard on/off switch

• Several mounting loops, so you can velcro or zip tie to whatever

• Free standing

• Dedicated space for acconeer pulsed radar (sparkfun version)

You can even add a pulsed radar proximity/motion sensor, simply by plugging it in and attaching to the backplate! Your Blackout Comms devices will recognize and be able to use your new device for detecting and responding to motion/presence.
