Description

Use Inky pHAT as a cute little clock, display tweets on it, the weather, news headlines, sports scores, and more. It's also ideal for graphing data from remote sensors, CPU load or temperature, or stock prices. Note that Inky pHAT uses a new display now (as of early December 2017), and requires updated software. The new software automagically detects the display version, so should work interchangeably with the old and new displays. Also note that a change to the Python library to support the new colours of display means that you'll need to put inkyphat.set_colour("red") just below the import inkyphat at the top of your code. Replace "red" with "yellow" depending on the colour of your Inky pHAT. Multi-colour EPD displays, like the ones on Inky pHAT, 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. The black/white display can be refreshed much more quickly, in just a second or two. Everything comes fully-assembled, and there's no soldering required! The display is securely stuck down to the Inky pHAT PCB and connected via a ribbon cable. Just pop Inky pHAT on your Pi and run our installer to get everything set up! Software Pimoroni's Python library takes the stress out of displaying text and images on Inky pHAT, and our examples include a cute clock and weather display. We've put together a one-line-installer for the Python library too, to make installation a little more straightforward. Pimoroni's software does not support Raspbian Wheezy, but don't worry, newer versions of Raspbian will work fine. Overall dimensions: 65x30x8.5mm (WxHxD, depth includes header and display) Display usable area dimensions: 48.5x23.8mm (WxH), 2.13" diagonal

Product review & video

last week pimmer only launched inky impression this is the latest in their inky lineup which adds e-paper displays to raspberry pi's it uses the same 5.7 inch seven color display that i showed you in my last video and it integrates directly into that inky software library as well the 5.7 inch seven color display can only show seven colors at a time which means that if you want to upload a traditional image you need to dither it so that you can form different shades of different colors by using just those seven colors that they offer you if you saw my last video we went through how to do that using photoshop and it was actually a really long-winded process and it actually takes quite a bit of time and you can't convert images on the fly you have to do it in advance so their python library should allow you to upload any image whenever you want and it'll automatically do all the conversion
