The Inkplate 2 is an easy-to-use, Arduino-compatible board equipped with a 2.13-inch tri-color E-Paper display. It is a plug-and-play device that can be programmed via a USB connection and is powered by the ESP32 microcontroller. Additionally, the Inkplate 2 supports both WiFi and Bluetooth, enabling easy internet connectivity.
In low-power mode, the board consumes just 8 µA, allowing it to run for months on a single charge of a lithium battery. It’s designed to be beginner-friendly, while also offering advanced features and a versatile platform for more experienced users.
Why Choose E-Paper?
If you’ve ever looked at an e-book reader, you might have thought, "I wish I could use that screen for my project!" Now, with Inkplate 2, you can. Its sharp and high-contrast display is easy to view in direct sunlight and highly energy-efficient. The screen only consumes power when the content changes, making it perfect for low-energy applications.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Inkplate 2 continues the legacy of the Inkplate series, offering a variation of E-Paper technology that is both accessible and easy to use for hobbyists and professionals alike. The board's plug-and-play design ensures that anyone can get started quickly, with compatibility for both Arduino and MicroPython.
