Very much on the DIY end, but I made a similar e-ink art piece that shows off the currently playing song on Spotify. I used a 3 colour display to add some flair :)

It’s not the easiest to set up yourself - need to generate Spotify API keys and build the unnecessary separate binary for dithering, but here’s the project if anyone is interested!

How much did the hardware cost? Is e-ink still super expensive?

It’s not bad! This is the display I’m using: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/5.83inch-...

You can use any raspberry pi to drive it (or any microcontroller really) which is pretty cheap too.

That's interesting the three color thing didn't know that was a thing

Oh nice they are actually in stock again. They were unavailable so long I stopped checking. Thanks for the tip

The prices on rapsperry pis that can drive eink are so low the make ArtFrame's prices look way beyond what i could justify.

Try to find a Raspberry Pi lately though, most places are currently either out of stock or selling them at a higher price since the supply can't meet the demand.
