This is a universal driver board for e-Paper raw panels, can be used to drive various SPI interface e-Paper from that we carry.
Out of the box, it can be stacked on the Raspberry Pi board through the 40-pin GPIO, getting the power and communication from the Raspberry Pi board. So it is compatible will all the Raspberry Pi board that has 40-pin GPIO, except the CM (Compute Module).
Note: e-Paper display and Raspberry Pi are NOT INCLUDED in the package.
Features and specifications:
- Standard Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards, and also Jetson Nano
- SPI interface, for connecting with other controller boards like Raspberry/Arduino/Nucleo, etc.
