Description
If you have ever seen an e-book reader, you may have thought, "If only I could use a screen like this in my project." Thanks to its exceptional sharpness and contrast, the ability to be viewed in sunlight, and truly unprecedented energy efficiency (it consumes power only when the screen content changes), the e-paper is the ideal choice for many applications.
The Inkplate 6COLOR continues the tradition of the well-known Inkplate product line. It offers a variety of e-paper variations that are accessible to both hobbyists and others. We have created a plug-and-play hardware that is really easy to use and is also compatible with Arduino and MicroPython. A new feature of the Inkplate 6COLOR is the ability to use a multi-color display.
Main Features of Inkplate 6COLOR:
If we want to highlight just a few features, the Inkplate 6COLOR offers:
- A beautiful e-paper display with a diagonal of 5.85 inches.
- The ability to display a total of 7 different colors: black, white, red, yellow, blue, green, and orange.
- Impressive results thanks to the built-in dithering capability.
- A powerful ESP32 microcontroller with WiFi and Bluetooth.
- Very low power consumption of just 18 µA, allowing you to use it for days, weeks, and even months without needing to recharge.
- An Arduino library (100% compatible with Adafruit GFX), which allows you to get the board running in just 5 minutes.
- Availability of a MicroPython module.
- 100% open-source software and hardware.
It is particularly interesting that Inkplate uses recycled screens sourced from old e-book readers. This is very eco-friendly; however, it should be noted that some screens may have minor scratches. Screens with large scratches or damage are not used.
