Pebble, the e-ink smartwatch with a tumultuous history, is making a move sure to please the DIY enthusiasts that make up the bulk of its fans: Its entire software stack is now fully open source, and key hardware design files are available too.

Pebble creator Eric Migicovsky announced the move on Monday in a blog post and video detailing the changes his reborn Pebble watchmaking firm has undertaken, and they’re considerable.

      In my personal opinion, e-ink is the most interesting and unique form of e-paper so far. I am just waiting for the patent to run out to see how affordable the technology becomes.
