Welcome to Inkplate’s documentation!

Inkplate is a powerful, energy-efficient, Wi-Fi enabled ESP32 series of boards with an e-paper display. It’s open hardware supported by an open-source software library, and it’s easy to program, regardless of whether you prefer MicroPython or the Arduino IDE. It comes in different versions of screen sizes.

At this page, you’ll find full Inkplate documentation.

Check out our examples to see what can be done on Inkplate.

For these examples to work, you first need to include our header file on top of your code (already included in examples), like this:

#include "Inkplate.h"
