Glider is an open-source low-latency E-ink monitor project, containing hardware designs and documentation, paired with the open-source Caster EPDC FPGA gateware. It serves as both a buildable display product (Modos Paper Dev Kit / Modos Flow) and an educational resource on E-ink display technology.

Use cases

• build an open-source e-ink monitor
• low latency eink display for coding
• learn how e-ink controllers and waveforms work
• develop FPGA gateware for e-paper displays
• eye-friendly external monitor for reading and writing
• customize e-ink display firmware and refresh modes

When to choose

• you want a hackable, open-source E-ink monitor with low latency
• you're researching E-ink panel driving, waveforms, or EPDC design
• you want to modify or extend display hardware and gateware yourself

When to avoid

• you need a plug-and-play consumer monitor with warranty and support
• you need high refresh rates, color accuracy, or video playback
• you're unwilling to flash firmware or assemble/flash a dev kit
