2 min | 16271M5Stack has just launched a new device in its core series. This time, the company has combined two great things into a great product: a 4.7" EINK screen with touch capabilities and an ESP32 with 8MB PSRAM. As usual, the device is compatible with Arduino, MicroPython, and UIFlow. It only costs USD69,00.
The M5Paper is a fully programmable and portable device, which is an ideal choice for an IoT application (or you can just use it as an E-reader). The touch EINK screen can b...

4 min | 19138This is a tutorial to control and display widgets on an E-INK display using an ESP32. Three widgets are available:
- Weather: weather forecast obtained using the OpenWeatherMap API.
- News: news highlights obtained using the NewsApi API.
- Notes: notes that can be added using a web-server that runs on the ESP32.
The result can be seen in this video:
Thus, in this tutorial, I will try to achieve the following:
- A guide to compile MicroPython to freeze modules;
- A setup guide for ...

There are many projects with an e-ink display and the Raspberry Pi, but I first tried with an ESP32 and MicroPython. That solution didn't work (something was not working with the reset voltage - too much signal noise). So, that remains a work in progress and I wi...
