Ready-made DIY modules for this size and with 4bpp (16 Grayscale) color support are currently quite expensive. This project uses Kindle replacement screens, which are available for 20$ (small) / 30$ (large) on ebay!

The EPDiy driver board targets multiple E-Paper displays. As the driving method for all matrix-based E-ink displays seems to be more or less the same, only the right connector and timings are needed. The EPDiy PCB features a 33pin and a 39pin connector, which allow to drive the following display types: ED097OC4, ED060SC4, ED097TC2
The EPDiy driver board targets multiple E-Paper displays. As the driving method for all matrix-based E-ink displays seems to be more or less the same, only the right connector and timings are needed. The EPDiy PCB v4 features a 33pin and a 39pin connector, which allow to drive the following display types: ED097OC4, ED060SC4, ED097TC2. With the upcoming revision v5, even more display types will be supported! For details, refer to the table below.


Building It
-----------

If you want to build a board right now, there are two possible routes:
- Use the new v2 PCB (`hardware/epaper-breakout/gerbers_v4.zip`). This is a bit more fresh, but should work.
The BOM is available at (`hardware/epaper-breakout/BOM.csv`).
Positioning files for SMT assembly are available at (`hardware/epaper-breakout/gerbers/epaper-breakout-top-pos.csv`).
Please double check the part positioning and Rotation with your assembly service!

Make sure to select the `V4` board revision in `idf.py menuconfig` when building the examples.
- Use the original v2 PCB (`hardware/epaper-breakout/gerbers_v2_rev0.zip`).
However, you might run into issue #3 with some selections of parts.

Make sure to select the `v2/v3` board revision in `idf.py menuconfig` when building the examples.
