E-ink display Part II

Now you can see the E-ink display in action.

It is connected to the ESP201 development board which also have an DS18B20 temperature sensor attached.

I've managed to reduce the pin numbers so now I can have extra pins to connect more sensors and show their values on this tiny e-ink display.

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.
