MagInkCal is a DIY E-Ink magic calendar application that syncs events from Google Calendar and renders them onto a Waveshare 12.48" tri-color E-Ink display. It runs on a battery-powered Raspberry Pi Zero WH with a PiSugar2 battery/RTC module, waking daily via cron to refresh the display.

Use cases

  • build a battery-powered wall-mounted e-ink calendar
  • sync google calendar to an e-paper display
  • make a magic calendar with raspberry pi zero
  • display daily events on an e-ink screen
  • wireless calendar display for home
  • diy e-ink dashboard project

When to choose

  • you have the specific Waveshare 12.48" tri-color display and PiSugar2 hardware
  • you want a wire-free, wall-mountable calendar that updates daily
  • you want a well-documented DIY project to jump-start an e-ink calendar build

When to avoid

  • you use a different e-ink display or battery module without willingness to customize the code
  • you need real-time or intraday calendar updates rather than a daily refresh
  • you want a plug-and-play commercial product rather than a DIY build
