UPDATED GUIDE: Adafruit eInk Display Breakouts @CircuitPython #Adafruit #displayio #AdafruitLearningSystem #Display @Raspberry_Pi @Adafruit @MakerMelissa
The Adafruit eInk Display Breakouts guide has been updated to include setup instructions for usage through User Python code on the Raspberry Pi using Blinka as well as use with displayio on CircuitPython.
Easy e-paper finally comes to microcontrollers, with these breakouts, shields and friends that are designed to make it a breeze to add a tri-color eInk display. Chances are you’ve seen one of those new-fangled ‘e-readers’ like the Kindle or Nook. They have gigantic electronic paper ‘static’ displays – that means the image stays on the display even when power is completely disconnected. The image is also high contrast and very daylight readable. It really does look just like printed paper!
We’ve liked these displays for a long time, but they were never designed for makers to use. Finally, we decided to make our own!
