This video covers the software setup and overview for getting your typewriter working. The raspberry pi configuring process can be intimidating, so this video is supposed to make it a bit more approachable.

I could make a more detailed video on the soldering, wiring, and housing assembly if required, but I thought this would be a good starting point for most people. If you get stuck, there's tons of information out there on soldering, wiring, and raspberry pi in general. Or let me know and I can see if I can help.

This project includes all the files and instructions needed to make a ZeroWriter. It's a portable writing computer that houses a 40% keyboard, eink display panel by waveshare, and custom software designed for drafting. And, a fraction of the price of commercial ones. Made for beginners!

Requires: Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and 4.2" Waveshare ePaper display (400x300) v1
