Inkplate 2

The Inkplate 2 is an Arduino-compatible board featuring a 2.13" three-color e-paper display. It is a plug-and-play device, programmable via USB port, and controlled by an ESP32 microcontroller. It easily connects to the internet via WiFi and has onboard Bluetooth as well. Since it uses only 8uA in low-power mode, it can last for months on a single Li-ion battery charge. It's simple enough for beginners with our documentation and getting started guides. Inkplate 2 has it all, packed on a small form factor board.

If you're like us, when you first saw an e-book reader, you thought "If only I could use a screen like this in my project". Thanks to the exceptional sharpness and contrast, the ability to display in sunlight, and truly unprecedented efficiency in terms of energy (it consumes energy only when changing the content on the screen), electronic paper is the ideal choice for many applications. Inkplate 2, continuing the tradition of the now well-known Inkplate series, offers a variation of e-paper accessible to hobbyists.

Inkplate 2 options:

• With e-paper: A basic version, featuring the e-Paper display itself, along with everything you need to get started! Ideal for desktop projects always powered via USB-C.
• With e-paper display & enclosure: This version offers a sturdy and sleek enclosure for your device, precisely 3D printed. It's perfect for those who want an extra layer of protection without any added features.
• With e-paper display, enclosure, and battery: Upgrade to this version if you're looking for both protection and mobility. This option includes a 3D-printed enclosure as well as an integrated battery, ensuring your device stays powered even on the go.
