Why E-Paper
E-paper reflects ambient light like printed paper, stays readable under lamplight or natural light, and keeps the last displayed content after power is removed.
Case Design
The ABS protection case uses precise cut-outs, rounded corners, and slanted sides for easier standing. Rear heat dissipation holes work with thermal tape for better cooling.
Raspberry Pi Zero Series Support
The standard 40PIN GPIO header is designed for Raspberry Pi Zero series boards. Raspberry Pi shown in reference images is not included.
Pinout and Control Interface
The display is controlled over SPI. The touch panel uses I2C signals through the onboard interface.
