ok so the controller chip is much more limited than i feared, we can only customize 8 characters it seems. so that would have to be replace by fpga perhaps. or i'll try eink next...

@confusomu it's two controllers glued together somehow, you have to toggle between them with E1/E2 instead of single E line
