Soldered Inkplate 10 Boards

Soldered Inkplate 10 Boards are powerful, energy-efficient, Wi-Fi-enabled Espressif ESP32 boards with a recycled 9.7" e-paper display. The devices feature open hardware that an open-source software library supports. It's easy to program using MicroPython or the Arduino IDE. The display features high contrast, daylight readability, and remarkable energy efficiency.

Features

Microcontroller
- Espressif ESP 32
Display
- A 9.7", 1200x825-pixel e-paper display with support for grayscale, partial updates, and quick refresh cycles
- A 1.61 second refresh time in black & white mode
- A 1.81 second refresh time in grayscale mode
- 0.62s for partial update
Connectivity
- A USB Type-C port for programming and power
- Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) support thanks to the on-board ESP32 module
- Plenty of additional GPIO pins and support for I²C, SPI, and easyC/Qwiic connectivity
