seb-ma/eInkFrame26A step by step guide to create a weather station (and more) in e-ink frame running with MagicMirror².
EInkFrame is an open-source printed circuit board by seb-ma, from the seb-ma/eInkFrame repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 191.9 × 127.7 mm with 24 parts on 64 nets, routed with 218 tracks and 6 vias.
It is built around the MPR121QR2. Its parts include 5 connectors and 4 ICs. It belongs with the home automation and IoT and lEDs and displays boards of this library.
This is a project (hardware and software parts) designed to have a full Weather station (and many more features) displayed on a e-ink screen put in a photo frame with tactile buttons.
It is done with a Raspberry Pi, a 7.8" e-ink screen, a capacitive touch sensor, a temperature/humidity/pressure/gas sensor and needs a internet connection.
This project is fully functional.
Some improvements can be done (see MagicMirror² Installation) and more features may be added in the future (see below).

It includes:
At this stage, all the ticked features are available (the other features may never be done). It can also be customized by adding new modules (see MagicMirror² Installation).

It measures 191.9 × 127.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
24 parts, built around the MPR121QR2. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the seb-ma/eInkFrame repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/eInkFrame.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/eInkFrame.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask seb-ma before reusing the design.
