FAQs:
Q:What are the dimensions of the 6-inch E-Ink display HAT?
A: The dimensions are not explicitly stated on the product page, but it is designed to fit on top of a Raspberry Pi board.
Q: What Raspberry Pi models are compatible with this E-Ink display HAT?
A: The product page does not specify which Raspberry Pi models are compatible. However, since it is a HAT (Hardware Attached on Top), it is likely compatible with models that have a 40-pin GPIO header, such as Raspberry Pi 3 and 4.
Q: What is the refresh rate of the display?
A: The refresh rate is not specified, but E-Ink displays are known for their slower refresh rates compared to traditional LCDs. This is due to the nature of the technology, which prioritizes low power consumption and a paper-like reading experience.
Q: Does the display come with a case or enclosure?
A: The product page does not indicate whether a case or enclosure is included with the display.
Q: What software is required to use this E-Ink display HAT?
A: The display likely requires specific drivers and software libraries to function properly with the Raspberry Pi. The manufacturer's website or documentation should provide information on the necessary software and installation instructions.
