E-ink display Part I

Finally my e-ink display arrived and I had some time to test it.

At the first look it redraw the screen in about 1 second, consume very little when changing the display and nothing between the changes.

I will connect it to my battery operated Temperature and humidity sender so I can see the values during the sleep time.
