Easy e-paper integration is now a reality for Raspberry Pi, thanks to a bonnet that simplifies the process of adding any standard pinout 24-pin flex-connector E-Ink display. This add-on includes all necessary components, ensuring effortless interfacing for Pi and Pi-compatible boards.
With additional features such as two user buttons, a Stemma QT I2C port, and a 3W I2S speaker, you can incorporate audio playback into your project. Simply insert your preferred E-Paper display into the connector to create a robust Linux-powered display for various applications like desk setups or wall displays.
The technology mimics the experience of reading printed paper, offering high contrast and excellent daylight readability, similar to e-readers. This product does not include the raw display; however, compatible bare displays are available separately. Be sure to match the display's driver code with its driver chip, with samples available in our E-Ink Python library for custom projects.
This fully assembled and tested bonnet is compatible with any Raspberry Pi featuring a 2x20 connector, including the Pi B+, Pi 2, and up. The onboard MAX98357 3W 4-8Ω speaker driver provides digital I2S input for impressive audio, perfect for adding alerts and feedback to your E-Paper endeavors. A 4-8Ω speaker is required for audio output.
For additional functionality, the Qwiic/STEMMA QT connector on the underside supports I2C sensors and devices, facilitating plug-and-play with our STEMMA QT devices. Consider accessories such as a compatible E-Paper display, extender cables for flexibility, a 4-8Ω speaker for audio, and, naturally, a Raspberry Pi with a 2x20 connector for a complete setup.
