i bought an E-ink Display from Wafeshare after Playin with my 16x2 LCD but it doesnt work at all. // This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE. #include <Adafruit_GFX.h> #include <PL_microEPD.h> #define EPD_RST A1 #define EPD_BUSY A0 #define EPD_CS A3 PL_mic…

Wow, this the first I have seen E ink displays with multiple colors in multiple sizes for reasonable pricing. [image] So does anything special need to be done to display bitmap images?

[image] RWB: So does anything special need to be done to display bitmap images? Depends what you consider "special" :wink: send the bitmap for the dark areas send the bitmap for the red areas tell the display to refresh done

Just wondering if all it takes is a bitmap array the same as the Adafruit OLED displays to display bmp images in RED or Black. I guess looking at the code would tell me. Does the refresh time really take 8 seconds? [image]

Yup, the contrast seems to be gradually increased by multiple refresh cycles (all handled by the display itself after one refresh command).

Cool. Upload a video if you’re up to the task. E ink is an interesting technology.

Just wasn’t sure if you wanted to do the whole Youtube upload process. :smile: Thanks for the video, gives people a clear understanding of what the refresh process looks like. If you need quicker refresh updates then the Sharp Memory LCD’s are the next step up for an ultra-low always ON display s…

@ScruffR Not sure if you saw this or not. https://www.dfrobot.com/blog-702.html

I guess @redinvader has lost interest :wink:
