Using the Pimoroni InkyFrame as a Google Calendar Display

After a year and a half of off-and-on work, I’ve finally gotten my E-Ink Calendar project in a working state. Since it took me so long, I wanted to document a bit about how it works and some of the things I learned while working on it. First, though, some explanation for why I started this project in the first place. I have a large family—5 kids—with children ranging from their late teens to kindergarten age. With such a large family we have a lot of events on our calendar: doctor or dentist appointments, school events, after school event, etc. My spouse expertly uses a large whiteboard calendar to keep track of all the events, but one major struggle I’ve had is making sure the events we have in our shared Google calendar are easily visible to everyone (by everyone I mostly mean me).
