I built a minimalist AI Weather Poet (E-ink + Raspberry Pi Pico)

I’ve had this Waveshare E-ink display sitting on my desk for months, and I finally decided to turn it into something functional and beautiful. In this video, I walk through the process of building "The Weather Poet"—a minimalist desk companion that uses the Gemini API to write custom poetry based on the local weather forecast. What’s inside: Brain: Raspberry Pi Pico W 🧠 Display: Waveshare 4.2-inch E-ink (Electronic Paper) 🖼️ Intelligence: Gemini API via a Google Cloud Function with Genkit ✨ Enclosure: Custom enclosure printed on a Bambu Lab A1 🖨️ 🛠️ Build it yourself: Code (GitHub): https://github.com/lahirumaramba/weat... 3D Models: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2559...
