A new guide in the Adafruit Learning System today: Quickstart using Adafruit eInk/ePaper displays with CircuitPython
This guide is intended to get you using the Adafruit 2.13″ tri-color e-ink FeatherWing and 2.7″ tri-color e-ink shield quickly with CircuitPython. CircuitPython is fast becoming _the_ go-to language for microcontroller programming. The new displayio routines provide a powerful way to use graphics and text on a wide range of Adafruit displays. This guide shows how to use displayio with these two popular eInk / ePaper displays.
Examples include simple text display, displaying a bitmap image, and making a simple name badge with a picture and text.
And eInk displays are wonderful to use – the image will stay on the display even if power is removed! And these displays use 3 colors (white, black, and red), making for some nice possibilities.
