This project is not affiliated with the Onyx organisation or the Boox product line. To the best of my knowledge their official resources can be found here or here.
While researching a custom-built portable computer I stumbled upon the Mira 13.3" portable e-paper display. Due to the ability of connecting this display to existing computers I decided to forego the custom-built computer. Instead I opted to invest in this display after viewing an extensive review.
The device itself is spectacular but the settings application that is provided is slightly disappointing. The main feature I miss is scriptability, or a command line interface. So why not develop one myself?
This project was inspired by the sources of the settings application provided by Onyx Boox. If you are interested in these sources yourself, head over to this document.
