Inkplate 6

If you’re like us, the first time you saw an e-reader, you thought to yourself, "I could do something with that." Thanks to clean lines, high contrast, daylight readability, and the remarkable level of energy efficiency that comes from drawing power only when changing the contents of the screen, e-paper is uniquely suited to many applications. With Inkplate 6, our goal is to make e-paper accessible to hobbyists and DIY product designers by offering a plug-and-play hardware platform that is super-easy to use and compatible with Arduino and MicroPython.

To name a few features, Inkplate 6 has a stunning 6-inch e-paper display with a refresh rate of 1.26s, partial update 0.26s, greyscale mode, and partial updates support. Powered by ESP32, you will have a strong microcontroller with WiFi and Bluetooth at your disposal. It’s super-low-power (22uA) so you can use it for days, weeks, or months out of a single battery charge. Using our Arduino library, it’s up and running in 5 minutes. The Micropython module is available as well. It’s 100% open-source for both software and hardware.

Inkplate 6 options:

• With e-paper: The basic version with all you need to get started.
• 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.
