[β] Sinthesis@lemmy.today 12 points 10 months ago (1 child) You only need 20 watts of power. One of those dinky fold up solar panels would work. Add a USB power brick for cloudy days. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] utopiah@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (1 child) 2W for a RPi Zero with data on a microSD permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] notabot@piefed.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 child) You're going to need a monitor as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] utopiah@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (1 child) I have a PaPiRus ePaper eInk e.g. https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Pi%20Supply%20PDFs/PaPiRus_ePaper_Web.pdf and even though I don't know the watts for a refresh but I assume it's one of the lowest solution you can use.

Those PaPiRus screens look easier to interface with, but a little small for reading wikipedia articles. They'd do in a pinch, but the eyestrain would have me looking for a bigger solution. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] utopiah@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago Totally, if you want to read or read / sketch then a reMarkable or PineNote would be much better. They'd consume a lot more energy (relatively speaking) but it's a different use case. permalink fedilink source parent
