e-Paper with Arduino & Raspberry Pi

e-Paper with Arduino & Raspberry Pi

e-Paper displays have a number of unique features, such as being visible in broad daylight, consuming very little current, and retaining their image when powered down. But they also have some disadvantages – they have poor refresh rates, limited color capability, and are more expensive than other display types.

in some applications, however, e-Paper is a perfect choice, and today we will see how to use these displays with both an Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi Pico with CircuitPython

CircuitPython with Raspberry Pi Pico

CircuitPython is an easy-to-use language with hundreds of libraries for microcontrollers. Today we will be using CircuitPython with the Raspberry Pi Pico

With over 300 libraries already to go CircuitPython makes it easy to expose the power of the Raspberry Pi Pico.

Today we’ll see how to install CircuitPython and how to use it to build a keyboard emulator, a mouse emulator, work with MicroSD cards and flash some addressable RGB lights.
