These chips look really sweet. I got in touch with Newhaven & they’re sending me 2 non-touch sunlight-readable EVE2 displays.

Does anyone have any prior work getting these EVE2 chips working with Particle controllers? I’d love to use EVE Screen Designer 4.0 (qt-project.org), as it’s a pretty robust layout solution - but I’d really benefit from some input. I’m working through a local build toolchain, perhaps a toolchain configuration can be made for the FTDI/qt IDE? Looks pretty straightforward, but I’ve got vanishingly little experience assembling build chains in Windows.
