Though it ’s no huge blow to find out what ’s behind Esquire ’s late E - Ink cover , it ’s always fun to look at the postmortem pic . Phil over atMAKEtook the mag cover up asunder , and in addition to the E - Ink display , ground Li cell , printed circuit boards , and flash - programmable microcontrollers , which could be partially hacked or reprogrammed .
The E - Ink panel is segmented ( 11 on top , 3 on bottom ) , which means you ca n’t expend the total rectangle for exhibit . While you’re able to change the timing for each section ’s blinking , the potential for veridical customization seems limited . or else you could only switch when each section blinks or does n’t blink ( not much fun , I do it ) .
In any case , MAKE has the nitty - gritty details and plenty morebeautiful photos , so be sure to check it out . I ’m off to track down my own copy of this calendar month ’s Esquire . [ MAKE ]
