Overview

Epaper is an open-source printed circuit board by TDA-2030, from the TDA-2030/E-ink-screen repository on GitHub, published under the Apache-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 65 × 30 mm with 56 parts on 83 nets, routed with 472 tracks and 89 vias.

It is built around the CP2102N-A01-GQFN28R, ESP32-WROOM-32D and TC8002D, with the AMS1117-3.3, LTC4054ES5-4.2#PBF and 1N4148WS among its other parts. Its parts include 20 resistors, 15 capacitors, 6 connectors, 5 ICs and 4 diodes. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the ESP32 boards of this library.

hanshow E-ink example based on ESP32

An assistant to help you view text and picture calendars. It is mainly composed of a 2.13 inch eink(epaper) and an esp32 module.

ESP32 of espressif is used as the controller, and development environment is esp-idf v4.0.

How to Use

  1. setup environment

    ESP-IDF Programming Guide will teach you to install the development environment step by step.

  2. config project

    open the menuconfig

    shell
    cd firmware
    idf.py menuconfig

    Here you can configure the project. For example, you can change the GPIO of the screen by entering component config → Eink setting .

  3. compile project

    shell
    idf.py build
  4. download firmware

    shell
    idf.py -b 921600 flash monitor

    The above command will flash esp32 and open a serial monitor to show the logs of esp32.

Questions

How big is the Epaper PCB?

It measures 65 × 30 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the Epaper use?

56 parts, built around the CP2102N-A01-GQFN28R, ESP32-WROOM-32D, TC8002D and AMS1117-3.3. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Epaper KiCad files?

From the TDA-2030/E-ink-screen repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/epaper.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Epaper design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
