Inkplate 5 Gen2

Introducing the Inkplate 5 Gen2, a versatile board compatible with Arduino and MicroPython technologies, featuring a recycled 5.2" E-Ink (e-paper) display with fast refresh times of just 0.22 seconds. This fully open, plug-and-play device, powered by the ESP32 microcontroller, is designed for effortless internet connectivity via WiFi or with other devices via Bluetooth.

Its energy-efficient design allows for ultra-low power consumption, enabling it to operate for months on a single charge of a Li-ion battery. The Inkplate 5 Gen2 is not only about power and connectivity; it's also about convenience. The built-in microSD slot and real-time clock provide unlimited data storage possibilities and precise timekeeping. The device even features numerous GPIO pins, allowing easy expansion of your projects with almost any peripheral device.

The e-paper display of the Inkplate 5 Gen2 offers visual delight. It provides a beautiful, sharp image under all conditions, including direct sunlight, which is always on. The display resolution is 720x1280 pixels, in monochromatic mode, supporting black, white, and 6 shades of gray. The most interesting part? The E-Ink display requires no power between screen updates.

The Inkplate 5 Gen2 refreshes at a speed of 0.99s for a full refresh and 0.22s for a partial refresh.

Our device is a fantastic starting point for those wanting to experiment with E-Ink technology, all neatly packaged in a compact board.
