With this project, you will always know what event you have up next. The eInk Bonnet or Breakout will let you know what's next on your schedule and if you lose power to your Raspberry Pi or other single board computer, you will still be able to see what the next item is because the ePaper display still shows the last thing written to it!
Using Python, this project queries the Google Calendar site API to find out the what is next on your schedule and displays it. This is a great project that you can have sitting on your desk.
The project works by reading the events on your Google Calendar and then sorts what you have coming up and displays the upcoming item as well as the item after that. You can also scroll through events using the buttons.
You will need a 2.13" Monochrome eInk display such as the eInk Bonnet or the eInk Breakout.
If you use a breakout board, you will need a few additional parts. First you will need some tactile switches for buttons:
You will also needs a couple of 100K Resistors:
