This Monochrome eInk Display Breakout makes adding an e-paper display to your microcontroller project incredibly easy. Inspired by the e-readers like Kindle or Nook, this display offers high contrast, static images that remain even when the power is off. It's perfect for low-power projects where readability in daylight is crucial, as it mimics the appearance of printed paper.
Key Features:
-
2.13" Monochrome Display: With 250x122 pixels in black and white, this eInk display delivers crisp text and images with minimal power usage.
-
Faster Updates: Unlike tri-color displays, this monochrome version only takes a couple of seconds to update, making it more efficient.
-
Built-in SRAM: To handle the 7.6 KB frame buffer, an SRAM chip is included. This allows you to store your display content and only transfer the data to the eInk when ready, saving precious microcontroller memory.
-
MicroSD Card Slot: Store images, text, or any other content to display directly from the card.
-
Low Power: An onboard 3.3V regulator with an enable pin lets you power down the SRAM, MicroSD, and display for ultra-low power consumption.
-
3/5V Logic Safe: Works with virtually all microcontrollers, offering flexible integration.
-
Easy to Use: Comes with CircuitPython or Arduino libraries that make it simple to control and integrate with your project.
The breakout is pre-assembled and tested, with some headers provided for you to solder for breadboarding or installation in your project. Perfect for makers looking to implement an e-paper display in their electronics projects!
