Hi all. Is it possible to connect an paper 2.7" display from embedded artist to a spark core? and if so, how to do the pins mapping and which library would be the best to start with? Sorry if this has already been asked, or obvious, I am a newbie in the field. regards, denis

@sharly09 , can you provide a link to the embedded artist display? Also, you may want to do a forum search. Here is one item that turned up for example: [image] Spark + eInk/ePaper? Libraries Is anyone else working on using eInk/ePaper displays with their Spark? I hooke…

hi peekay123. Here is the link 2.7 INCH E-PAPER DISPLAY Thank you for your help. regards,

Indeed, I saw this thread but could not manage the pin assignment. here is what is available on the display Display, 14-pin connector Pin#: Signal 1: GND 2: 3V3 3: SCK 4: MOSI 5: MISO 6: SSEL 7: Busy 8: Border Ctrl 9: SCL 10: SDA 11: CS Flash 12: Reset 13: Pwr 14: Discharge

@sharly09 , I’ll have to look at the code to verify. I find it odd that the display needs both SPI and I2C but if I recall, the I2C is for an on-board sensor.

@sharly09 , Yup, the I2C is used for an onboard LM75 sensor. Here is the revised pin-out Display Pin CorePin -------------------- 1: GND GND 2: 3V3 3.3V 3: SCK A3 4: MOSI A5 5: MISO A4 6: SSEL A2 7: Busy D7 8: Border Ctrl D3 9: SCL …

@peekay123 , your are great! thank you so much.

@sharly09 , cross your finger! let me know how it goes :wink:

@sharly09 Any update on this? Did you get it working? I’m actually looking at something a little larger. I’m possibly looking at the 7.4" mPico display ( http://www.pervasivedisplays.com/kits/mpicosys740 ). So if we can at least get the smaller ones working, I have a platform to take off from. T…

Hi Antony. Yes, thanks to @peekay123 , it worked with the 2.7" ePaper. Although it is very limited with the core (not enough memory to managed a bitmap) it does work the photon and the electron. But I did not try to make it work with partial updates. I am using EPD_V231_G2 driver.
