I love E-Paper displays and I have used them in many Arduino Projects. I have found something amazing. An all in one 6” color e-paper board. It has everything we need. Let’s see what it offers in detail. Board: educ8s.tv/part/ColorEPaper
Looks like a great display alternative for long battery life with a solar-cell. However, the update time is a little long for a critical alarm indicator warning. 😎 Thank you.
As a long distance hiker, it would be nice to put maps+guides on something like this, since we often go a week without opportunity to recharge. 11s is a long for reading text -- can it do a partial refresh?
No, unfortunately we can't do partial refresh on the color one. If refresh rate is an issue you can check out the b/w ones. The update time is about 1-2 seconds.
E ink displays are great, but they lack a important feature. If the controller has some issue, the display still retains the image as if nothing is wrong. How to avoid that?
