This is a product in development.
This is a display board with an integrated Raspberry Pi Zero 2W driving a 6" e-paper panel, similar to the Kindle Paperwhite.
The goal of this project is to create a fast, responsive, and easy-to-use panel for Raspberry Pi. The idea would be to make a more modern version of the original Zerowriter Pi project.
This would be an alternative to the Waveshare 4.2" panels that are the most value on the market. It's for hobbyist and builders.
It is being designed as a "hat", meaning you just seat a Pi Zero 2W inside, and it's good to go.
Why this product?
- Will work natively as a Raspberry Pi / Linux display - fully supporting any linux application
- 10FPS - about three times as fast as most epaper displays.
- 1024x758 resolution
- front light optional
- Built-in Universal Power Supply (UPS) circuit - so you can plug in a battery and not have to fuss with other boards/circuits
- Automatically handles partial update cycles, full update cycles, frame buffer and frame management.
- This would make it easy for anyone to build an eink project, regardless of experience.
What are the downsides?
- This would be a high-power display, as it would be driving updates far more frequently than standard e-paper
- More heat generated with more power
- Less control over the board-level display operations
