Soldered Inkplate 6COLOR E-Paper Board

Soldered Inkplate 6COLOR E-Paper Board is an easy-to-use 5.85-inch folded e-paper display with seven different colors (Black, white, red, yellow, blue, green, and orange). This device is compatible with Arduino and micropython and is powered by an ESP32 microcontroller with built-in WiFi® and BLUETOOTH® 4.0 (BLE). The Inkplate 6COLOR uses recycled screens taken from old e-book readers and consumes only 18µA in deep sleep mode. The device includes a microSD card reader to extract images to display, additional GPIO lines, easyC/Qwiic compatibility, and I²C and SPI support. The Inkplate 6COLOR also provides an optional 3D-printed enclosure, optional 3D-printed enclosure and 1200mAh battery, and an optional version without e-paper display.

Features
