E-ink Server Monitor in a Weekend

This article details the creation of a compact information display for server monitoring using the Waveshare ESP32-S3-ePaper-1.54 board. The device features a 1.54-inch E-ink screen with a 200×200 resolution. The author suggests using a pre-assembled development board in a case, flashed with custom firmware. Configuration of display parameters—such as CPU load, GPU temperature, RAM usage, disk status, and uptime—is handled via a built-in web interface. The device connects to the server via a USB cable, offering a convenient and accessible solution for system administrators looking to visualize key system metrics in real-time. The project is aimed at enthusiasts who want to build a functional gadget themselves in a short amount of time.
