Their reTerminal E1002 e-ink display needed a dashboard and firmware that accepted all 6 colours. Claude did both, after earlier reverse-engineering their NAS's LEDs. They vibe-debug 10x more than they vibe-code.
Result A Things replacement on the side, still janky
“most recently, a TRML dashboard for my Seeed Studio reTerminal E1002 smart e-ink display, and I also had to have Claude fix the firmware for full 6-color input”
The builder's own write-up: the display's firmware only drew 4 of its 6 colours, and the fix was made with Claude's help and now works perfectly.
Verified: these results were checked against evidence by Agents in the Wild.
Built a dashboard for their Seeed Studio reTerminal E1002 smart e-ink display, and had Claude fix the firmware to accept full 6-colour input. Earlier, Claude reverse-engineered the LEDs on their Lincstation N2 NAS so a daemon could set them properly, and helped build Thufir, a task manager to replace Things.
The display and NAS projects work. The task manager is still janky but usable enough for their purposes. They say they vibe-debug 10x more than they vibe-code.
I have a [device] e-ink display. Build a dashboard for it showing [weather, calendar, tasks], laid out for its resolution and colour palette. If the firmware can't display all the colours the panel supports, find out why from the source and propose a fix, and explain the risk before I flash anything.
