Product description: Inkplate 5 - e-paper display 5.2'' 960 x 540 px - ESP32 - Arduino compatible - Soldered 333255
Soldered Inkplate 5 is an advanced module that combines energy efficiency and performance. Equipped with a 5.2'' e-ink (e-paper) display with a high resolution of 960 x 540 px , it provides excellent readability in all conditions, even in full sunlight. Thanks to ESP32 , it offers WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, which allows easy integration with IoT and wireless applications. The module consumes minimal energy - in deep sleep mode it consumes only 18 µA , which allows for many months of operation on a single battery charge. It supports microSD cards , so you can store and display images directly from external memory. Additional GPIOs and compatibility with the easyC system allow for simple integration with other modules and sensors.
