inky:bit voor de micro:bit V2 - rood/wit/zwart

Pimoroni's inky:bit's beautiful, high contrast display for the micro:bit is ideal for displaying simple graphics and crisply-rendered text and, because it looks like paper, it's readable in bright sunlight. ePaper displays have ultra low power consumption so are ideal for powering with a battery, and once you've written an image to the display it doesn't need to be connected to power any more. It's perfect for using as a fancy name badge, a cute clock, for displaying QR codes or pixel art, or for displaying data from your micro:bit's sensors.

Multi-colour EPD displays, like the ones on inky:bit, use ingenious electrophoresis to pull coloured particles up and down on the display. The coloured particles reflect light, unlike most display types, meaning that they're visible under bright lights. It takes approximately 15 seconds to refresh the display, with a typical 8mA current draw during refreshes.

Everything comes fully-assembled, and there's no soldering required! The display is securely stuck down to the inky:bit PCB and connected via a ribbon cable. Just insert your micro:bit into the slot at the top of inky:bit and you're ready to go.

Software

The easiest way to code inky:bit is with the block-based Microsoft MakeCode editor. Pimoroni created custom drag and drop blocks that will help you get started drawing text, shapes and images.

To add the inky:bit library in MakeCode, click on the cog at the top right hand corner, then "Add Package", then enter the URL "https://github.com/pimoroni/pxt-inkybit". You can find full instructions at the GitHub repository for the library.

If you'd prefer to program inky:bit with MicroPython, Pimoroni created a library for that too. Check out https://github.com/pimoroni/micropython-inkybit for how to get started programming inky:bit with Python or Mu.
