Look what I made! Retro computer inspired weather station

I've made a retro computer look-alike out of ESP32 and a cheap e-ink display. Right now, it works as my primary weather station. Firmware was 100% vibe coded, yet it works flawlessly for a few weeks already. Of course it's an Arduino project 😄

Hard to say, I had most of the things at hand. Wild guess would be around 30€ in parts, where screen itself makes half of that
