“Really cool display, but also the software and documentation that exists to support building projects with it makes it much more approachable than you might expect. Also excellent quality and really nice packaging.”
“Really easy to get up and running with good code examples in their github repo. Only docking one point because with the one I received, the mounting screws don't go in all the way except for one, but it doesn't affect things much.”
“The Inky wHAT was ridiculously easy to set up, a cinch to program, and looks gorgeous when displaying my solar panel data / weather / tide times.
It would be 5/5 from me, but the refresh rate is quite slow for "yellow" mode, taking almost 30 seconds vs about 5 seconds or less for "black" mode.”
“This display is a good size for a small project, and does what it claims to do.
I have the 'yellow' variant, which is not as vibrant as I expected — it can be quite muddy at points — but for the price, it is reasonable. The display refresh times are very, very slow. Whilst Pimoroni suggest you could turn this into a mini e-reader in their guides, it's definitely not usable for anything requiring a near-instantaneous refresh. The resolution is also pretty low, so it won't render huge amounts of content. For a low-density, low-frequency project, it's perfect: but don't expect miracles.
Getting the display itself to reliably interpret the code I am producing has sometimes been a challenge; sometimes telling it to render in one colour results in it rendering one of the other colours (black turns up white, etc). Whilst it's plausible my coding isn't up to snuff, I suspect the firmware/software for the screen itself is also a little buggy.”
