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), e-paper is the ideal choice for many applications.
The Inkplate 10 continues the tradition of the well-known Inkplate 6 by offering a variety of e-paper variations that are accessible to both hobbyists and professionals. We have created plug-and-play hardware that is very easy to use and is also compatible with Arduino and MicroPython.
Key Features of Inkplate 10:
The Inkplate 10 offers several impressive features:
- A stunning e-paper display with a diagonal of 9.7 inches.
- Fast content updates in just 1.61 seconds.
- Support for grayscale and the ability for partial updates on the screen.
- Powered by the ESP32 microcontroller, providing both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.
- An Arduino Library that allows you to start working with the board in just 5 minutes.
- 100% open-source software and hardware.
It is particularly noteworthy that Inkplate uses recycled screens sourced from old e-book readers, which is very eco-friendly. However, please be aware that some screens may have minor scratches. We do not use screens that have large scratches or damage.
* The current version of the Inkplate 10 device is supplied with an integrated circuit MCP23017. This is due to the current shortage of integrated circuits, particularly the MCP23017, whose price has increased significantly. One MCP23017, necessary for operation, will still be placed on the board, but the other will not be included. We apologize for this and are working on developing a board with a new integrated circuit.
