“This is a great little display. I've set up a shortcut on my iPhone to send a picture directly to the screen, which my daughter has taken with her to university, so we can send her regular visual updates of what the dog is up to, etc., in a way that seems more fun than a regular text. Thanks ;o)”
“A fantastic ePaper display that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for Raspberry Pi projects and anyone wanting a clean, low-power colour display.”
“Broke my old InkyWhat. This new impression is very nice, high resolution en more bright colours!
Had to rewrite my old weatherpanel coding. See picture.
Great stuff!”
“This is smaller than expected. It has a high pixel density so you can pack information onto the screen if your viewing distance isn't too large.
I also have the 5.7"-impression and the 5.7"-InkyFrame. If you figure out the correct cabling, you can also operate the Impression with a Pico(-W). The Impressions are perfect for borderless frames.”
“The colours are vivid and nicely saturated. Although the images don't get as sharp as in an Oled display they do have a charm of their own, like an old postcard or postal stamp.
It is also easy to get started with the SDK and examples with "curl https://get.pimoroni.com/inky | bash"
It is also very convenient that once the image is redrawn the screen stops consuming energy, to save on batteries.
The only not so good issue is that the screen refresh takes about 15 seconds. But that's something Pimoroni already says, so everyone should be expecting it.”
