K4 B00E - Running Processing visualizations.

rgbrobot · 03-22-2023, 09:39 PM

Hey everyone. New here. Couldn't find any related posts on this, and it's a bit specific.

I am designing a clock, and want it to use an e-ink display for the clock face. I'm looking at a minimal design, analog readout but in digital form (no physical hands).

I found my old kindle, and wondered if I'd be able to hack/jailbreak it to this end. I've been using the app Processing to generate these visualizations, and want to use the Kindle to test them out. (I am on a mac)

There's a lot here I don't know, but the main question is this: What is possible with a jailbroken B00E in this department? Is something like what I want possible? I would even be OK with being able to load a video on there just to see what it looks like.

EDIT: Running 4.1.4
Note: Not interested in using this for reading or web browsing, unless it accomplishes the above goals.

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with Processing, but I'm going to go on a limb and say that, no, you won't be able to run its interpreter/VM/compiler (or whatever it actually is).

You might be able to get it work in the browser using Processing.JS or P5.JS, but you might have to get an older version of those libraries
