Could you build this?

No An embedded display driver for SPI e-paper modules needs hardware-level expertise, the physical panels for testing, and timing work tied to specific datasheets. Vibe coding cannot replace hands-on hardware testing.

What it would actually take: A real version requires embedded C or similar, reading each panel's datasheet for SPI command and timing sequences, and testing on physical hardware to reach the claimed refresh rate. Driver and firmware expertise and bench equipment are the essential resources.
