VGA Converter Board Update: First One Built

A project log for PaperBack: A Desktop EPaper Monitor

EPaper monitor driven by either VGA or an Internet Connected ESP32.

It looks pretty good, doesn't it?

I've also got it docked with the first PCB, the power & breakout board - and you'll note I've removed the ESP32 from the headers. 

If all works out, PaperBack is a two-in-one product.  With the ESP32 inserted it'll be an internet-connected ePaper screen; with the ESP32 removed and the second board docked it'll work just like a VGA desktop monitor (with slow refresh rate - it's still ePaper!).

Wish me luck - it's time to start programming all those parts to fit them together...

My best guess is I won't finish coding this weekend; I'll be sure to put the parts in the BoM though for the prerequisites of the Best Product deadline Monday.  I should have plenty of time for the integration before the final deadline!
