“I'm new to python, and using the inky tools and examples provided I was able to hack together an electronic art frame which cycles through random images in a directory every 30 minutes. The display is crazy easy to use and works great.”
“I've experimented with a few e-ink modules over the past years, and also with commercial shelf-edge displays at work using this tech. There's a wide variety of black&white, grey-scale and 3-colour units out there, but this panel really stands out as the first readily available 7-colour I've come across.
Setting this up is trivial, you just pop it on the Pi GPIO header, download the library, job done. In use the refresh rate is comparable to other panels of this size using a generic conroller. The colours aren't hugely saturated, but look great particularly under bright lighting.
Awesome piece of kit!”
“Super cool. When it arrived with a preloaded image I was blown away by how cool this thing was. API was super easy. I got bogged down because of the aarch64 version of Manjaro I had on my available Pi. No issues when used with Raspbian, basically plug n play.
Very happy with this”
“Very pleased with it. Worked straight away with example code which contain a nice variety of uses. I like the four hardware buttons which, again using the example code, were easy to use in Python. e-ink displays are always going to take a while to refresh and this is no exception. Built a little calendar/news/weather and quote display frame. Seems to prefer room temperatures as mentioned in the notes as otherwise in a cold room, can look a bit faded.”
“The delivery was very fast to Japan. This Eink display is awesome. I started working on it as soon I received it. The provided documentation is easy to getting started. I recommend this product.”
