Hi all!

I’m a long time reader, first time poster here.
I would like to use my old Kindle 4NT as a «*giant*» monitoring screen for my eBike. I came across this impressive DIY video :
https://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/...cycle-computer
It gives a good starting point but there is still a long way to go !

Have any of you tried a similar project ? Or contacted the scientist behind this video ?
I would love to get pieces of software to start with !
I like the fact that he is using the browser and Ajax to update only small portion of the screen.

Indeed, my first idea was to do something based on this project :
https://github.com/mpetroff/kindle-w...isplay?files=1

However, this would have my screen fully blink every time I have an information (speed, remaining time....) updated!

Thanks for your help!
