![]() ![]() The Freewrite (I have one) is a cute concept but is limited by i) the fact that you can't insert your typing anywhere on-screen, but can only add to the last point (which takes the skeuomorphic nostalgia for a typewriter too far in my opinion), and ii) is really big and, handle notwithstanding, not very portable. I'm happy to find this thread as I've been looking for exactly the same thing, and look forward to seeing how people get on. If you know of any devices that are definitely able to do this, please let me know. For instance I bought the Icarus Illumina, but it appears it cannot power a keyboard. It is very difficult to figure out whether an e-reader has the hardware capability to power a USB keyboard. Of these, the only ones I can find to buy are the InkBook Prime (amazon). The Android e-readers that I know of which have Bluetooth capability are: However, I am not sure this person is doing it without an external power source. In the video below, someone appears to be able to make it work with the Onyx Boox T68 and a wired keyboard. This person has made it work with the Onyx Kepler and a bluetooth keyboard. origin=" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> There has been much discussion of this topic at this thread, which is a couple of years old, but I don't think anyone has been able to build something that fulfils my three criteria. * Wired keyboard instead of bluetooth keyboard (or ideally, the option to do both) What I'd prefer, but am happy to compromise on: ![]() * that syncs what I write to the cloud (with something like ) * receiving input from a keyboard without requiring an additional power source while typing ![]() ![]() Since seeing the Freewrite (formerly Hemingwrite) I have been looking for a way to get the same, or better, functionality. But it's a little bit too limited: only one keyboard layout, and no arrow keys. Until then you're perfectly fine with your own builds.So the Freewrite is an interesting concept. It is very refreshing to see people trying to figure out things on their devices. Thank you for your time, it's perfectly understandable, I just dont feel right with posting that poor job as PR for now. The nabuk regal hd was the first device I'm aware that uses this driver but doesn't work with regal waveforms. The whole list of waveforms for your board is in If you change it to 6 it will use EINK_WAVEFORM_MODE_GL16 instead. Weirdly doesnt work at all with NookEPDController.ĭoes KOReader works normally (without full screen updates) or it seems stuck and not responding?ītw, can you please explain what the line does?īy default it uses EINK_WAVEFORM_MODE_GLR16. We can hook as many drivers as we want, but the same idea doesn't apply to KOReader, where just one driver must stay. For the e-ink test it is as simple as hook the driver on a new button onClickListener. If someone wants to add support for newer e-ink devices (say Nook, Tolino, rk29xx) he/she needs to add a new driver.Not all devices based on rk30board are e-ink devices.RK31xx, RK32xx share the same hardware "rk30board".Which leads me to a question, why isn't the rk30xx support inferred from hardware name, since the eink test app is able to get it as well? Different implementations / revisions across hardwares? If you can't see that menu then the nightly you are using is not updated enough to recognize the driver and you'll need to wait. If you can see the menu to do full refreshes (Settings->screen->eink settings) and even then the device doesn't refresh the screen is a problem with the driver and needs work. Normal and forced updates work fine, 5d21990 commit release nightly build fails to do refreshes, though. This is the information that appears when you run einkTest: However, the "einkTest" application does run the screen refresh. It works on the Onyx C67 but not on the InkBook Prime HD (Boyue clone). I've been testing the screen refresh on my android e-readers (v2019.02-8-g3f41560_). We can't add new supported devices until these issues are fixed. Onyx e-ink devices have their own ticket in #5073. I have an onyx device which seems to work with the eink test utility Please report your test results and we can add support on the next KOReader nightly. One of the test works for me but (latest version of) KOReader does not refresh at all. Well, you can but it will stay ignored until a developer adds support for a new routine compatible with your device. I did run all the tests but no one is working for me. If you get results with the "tolino" update please answer this question too:ĭoes KOReader works normally (without full screen updates) or it seems stuck and not responding? Questions 1. You can start the tool from KOReader file manager in "Tools" -> "More Tools" -> "Developer options" -> "Start eink test". In order to add support for newer devices there's a tool included with the app. These routines are not device specific, but platform specific. KOReader has support for some eink update routines. ![]()
