E-Paper Breakout Board for Teensy

April 12, 2017April 11, 2017 fustiniarduino, digikey, epaper, kicad, teensy, wickerlibLeave a comment

Breakout board designed in KiCad to connect Pervasive Displays 2.15″ E-Paper (E2215CS062) to Teensy 3.2 or Teensy LC. Based Teensy E-Paper Shield by Jarek Lupinski in EAGLE.

My goal is to create a name badge I can wear at conferences and Maker Faires. This was first step to verify the KiCad schematic and KiCad footprints work. I will post more information as the badge project progresses.

Jarek Lupinski has posted an update for his Teensy E-Paper Shield project:

Final Code and Pictures

I finished writing a few helper functions that should get you up and running with the Epaper display shield. It can be easily integrated into a larger graphics library like Adafruit’s GFX for more intensive work.

The source code can be downloaded from Hackaday.io:

Jarek Lupinski created a Teensy 3.x shield for e-paper displays:

E-Paper is not a simple display to drive. With manual temperature compensation, onboard power regulation requiring external capacitors, and setting up a step-up circuit, there are many factors to consider when working with this display, with the large benefit of not requiring any power to maintain its image once written.

I have created the simplest possible circuit necessary to drive the Pervasive Displays E2215CS062 , available from your favorite distributor. Certain parts from the reference design were substituted with US-available equivalents with assistance from the Pervasive Displays engineering team.
