    Does the board need 5 or 3.3v on VPWR? The DataSheet says it needs 4-9 V supply and 3.3V logic power.

    • The board has a 3.3V regulator on-board, so it only needs a 4-9V supply on the VPWR breakout line.

    Anyone have any insight on hacking the Boogie Board? If so, it looks like we could play with a cholesteric LCD for $29.95.
    Found this guy's attempt but it didn't work out. I'd love to see SF give it a try!
