Arduino library for e-paper display Inkplate 6 can be found in this repo. The library is still work-in-progress.
Arduino library for all-in-one e-paper display Inkplate 6 can be found in this repo. Inkplate 6 is a powerful, Wi-Fi enabled ESP32 based six-inch e-paper display – recycled from a Kindle e-reader. Its main feature is simplicity. Just plug in a USB cable, open Arduino IDE, and change the contents of the screen with few lines of code. Learn more about Inkplate 6 on [Crowd Supply](https://www.crowdsupply.com/e-radionica/inkplate-6).
Inkplate 6 is currently available via [Crowd Supply](https://www.crowdsupply.com/e-radionica/inkplate-6).
