My agent got a hacked e-paper price tag working and checked its own work

His AI agent got a modified fork of OpenEPaperLink running on a hacked 2.6 inch e-paper price tag within a few days. The agent then took a photo of the tag through a webcam to check its own work.

How it works

  1. Agent works on a modified OpenEPaperLink fork
  2. Gets it running on the hacked 2.6 inch e-paper price tag
  3. Agent takes a webcam photo of the tag to verify its own work

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent did not just say the tag worked. It took a photo of the tag through a webcam to check for itself.
