FINALLY! Fast e-Paper Display -INKPLATE 6 Motion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 янв 2025
- I waited for this for so long. This is a fast (11 FPS) e-paper display which can be programmed in Arduino IDE. This is the Inkplate 6 Motion, and it is currently in the crowdfunding phase.

it is made by SOLDERED! You can check whole INKPLATE series here:

My last video with INKPLATE:
• INKPLATE 6 - 6" e-pape...
This will be terrific for GPS displays that work in sunlight.
The tech demo is impressive.
I was looking at e-ink displays for a permanently-on display for battery powered projects, but I ended up going with monochrome LCD. They use less than 0.4mA all the time which is the same as a single SMD LED, but can refresh at fast rates.
Apart from low power draws, I kinda like the flat look of e-ink displays. Sometimes they don't even look like a screen
@@PandaTaco true they are more readable. monochrome lcds you have to fine tune the contrast for different lighting, otherwise user ends up tilting display until they can read it, none of that nonsense with eink.
I was in the same situation and also went with lcd, in my case I use a Sharp memory lcd, the 1,3" it uses less than 10ua at 1 hz refresh rate with a maximun of 20hz refresh rate without a minimun one as they maintain the screen until you update it or have no power.
@@GODAXEN if I could afford sharp memory I would have used that lol. I went with nokia 5110, there's still thousands of them out there and they're still dirt cheap. just require lots of cleaning to get them working properly again.
@@moeburn - The biggest advantage of e-ink/paper is the high contrast and readability under a wide variety of lighting conditions. Other than that, not much else, as it's still lagging behind LCD in refresh rates.
the sound effects are impressive
sound effects??? ... I thought he was in an F1 car 🤣🤣🤣
I love that E-ink displays really got a boost in development lately.
My idea would be to recreate old LCD games, like Nintendo Game&Watch
These aren't new screens. They're recycled from old ereaders.
Cool board, but can I get one that's _just_ a driver board and fast screen? I don't need most of these features. I just want an e-paper display that's bendable and updates very fast.
Your demo would be a cool display for an e-bike or something of the likes with small modifications. Pretty cool, thanks for sharing!
What a lovely screen !
I hope the crowd funding process goes smoothly 👍
$161 + $12 = $181 and 21%vat + 11% import duties , so an additional 32% on top of the $181 .. Total final price for me would be $239... hmmm a 6inch Kobo e-reader costs €160 and their new kobo Libra color €230 .. i know this is a different product but how am i to determine fair price ? i think this is to expensive for me for now.
You expected something else from a brand new tech and brand new product with that tech i side? There is no market for them now, so expect you will be the only one buying it, resulting in, you guessed it, a steep price for such.
Electronic price is highly based on production volume. Kobo optimised their production chain and sells millions of unit so of course it is cheaper than a project made by us who buy parts one by one
@@peyo33641 as a mechanical keyboard enthusiast I am familiar with the concept you’re describing. I suppose if someone sees the worth in it the price might be worth it ;-)
Luck you. Here in Brazil the taxes can go over 100%😢😢😢
Every time I commit to a project I wonder if I'm investing my time and efforts in the right display, so its always good to keep up on what options are available.
Lots of options today, i am sometimes confused and i cant decide.
Full motion full color e paper will happen some day and it will be very cool.
Great for vehicles, for the back of smartphones (to show incoming messages etc), for medical monitors and anywhere where colour isn’t essential. However, looks like we’ll need to wait a while for prices to come down for this technology become widespread.
Interesting project.
I love the e-ink technology 👍😃
Damn, son. The display is pretty cool but the price is crazy. Gonna give it another year is two.
Looks like e-ink is never going to become cheap. :(
That's what they want us to believe. I feel it too, but they're already asking 100 bucks for the PCB assembly, which feels way off.
Surely the battery for the RTC should be enough to power the whole thing for rare screen changes like a clock without second hand?
Best ( always when in use) is your Kroatian engine * "broombroom"* ...😊❤
...
do you think a sailboat display is possible?
This channel is great. Keep up the great work.
Thqnk you, i will
I want a 24-bit full color 60hz e ink panel to replace the lvds LCD of my laptop.
Looks promising, but it always really comes down to whether or not the community picks it up and makes it useful.
Very cool device. At first the price seems high, but considering the high-end e-ink panel used and all the work involved in designing and putting the PCB together, it wouldn't be fair to expect them to sell it for less. The speedometer is a good example for this type of display as it looks fluid and allows for partial refreshing. 10FPS is fast enough for any indicator in a GUI. The brain can't even process a single value changing 10x per second anyway.
I would love to see an R/C radio with a display like that instead of a color LCD.
I liked using auto scrolling for reading but hate lcd screens this could make auto scrolling a thing with e-paper
I would love to see benchtop lab equipment examples....
and with the tilt sensor, make a self balancing web controlled robot...
I wonder if that could be use to surf the internet,excluding video of course. That could be a good low power device that you could use under the sun
Are any of these UV resistant so they can be used outdoors for extended periods of time? I'm looking for a marine display
What if this use on some plane device after it crash if it din’t broke you can see if that device malfuntion or not
Beautiful screen. It makes me want to 3D print an Etch-A-Sketch case to put it in. 😆
How did you get it so early? I'm still waiting for my InkPlate Tempera!
I know owner. He send me one peace to try it.
Ooooo, I kind of want one of these… but do I need one? 🤔
Thx for introducing. I assumed ePaper is low energy with static images only, but very energy-intensive when updating the screen. Has the technology changed? Else, a high refresh rate would kinda condradict the major pitch of ePapers in terms of low energy consumption.
Do you have any numbers on energy consumption while showing dynamic content?
Hello, sorry i dont have any data about energy consumption. But i think you are right.
Would love to see your whole Car ePaper Cluster once completed..
Your Presentation is quite cool..
P.S. You've just got a Newer Subscriber 👍
Thank you Duke, welcome, i am glad you are here
Can I use it as a raspberry pi display?
Super interesting, I recently dropped an eInk from a low power sun-readable display project because of refresh issues and went to a Sharp Memory display instead. So I swapped a low FPS one for a high FPS one, and in exchange lost my 16x grey scale and now battle with B/W dithering instead 🙃
As always it a lovely example of your talents. It would be nice if these manufactures would make all the connections off the back and not the side as this increases the bezel size and make for having a bunch of wires out the sides.
Thanks again for you video
This would probably work well with AIDA64 ?
would be nice to use it for motorcycle...
Do the fuher speedometer.
Can I somehow contact you privately? I have some questions about a project.
Yes sure, volos.marketing@gmail.com
A display for 200 € - and that’s without a frame or anything else? That’s unbelievable. I might have considered it for 40-50 €, but this really takes it too far. I’m honestly speechless.
I wonder how long the display will last if you update it frequently on the same spot.
Most epaper displays I've seen do wear of their pigment on pixels which change a lot.
Impressive refresh rate🎉
I like the STM32 line of micros a lot. You get used to the product naming. Yours is the STM32 H7.. the rest of the numbers indicate specific features that yours has. There's a nice product selector on the manufacturer's site. They're considerably more powerful than the ESP32 line of micros. I'm sure there's an outlier in the world but most drone systems are controlled with STM32 chips. Dig into it, they'll ruin you for esp32.
Thank you, i will, to be honest i dont have lots of expirience with them.
nice. hopefully the cost will come down eventually for e-paper ink displays
Friendly advice : an audio high pass filter at 100 to150 hz would help remove low frequency rumble and noise from exhaling, movements and "p" sounds. Then a nice, smooth compressor to even out the vocals a bit and strengthen those low volume parts and handle the peaks. Really interesting videos but the audio is a bit distracting. With all due respect :) Thank you for your awesome content.
Thank you, i will try, i am aware of bad audio quality in my videos. Thank you for advices.
That's what you get for having a good sound system! ;-) On my laptop it sounds fine. Making something sound good on all different hardware is quite the challenge.
@@VeniceInventors those things i mentioned are super easy, setting a high pass filter is 2 seconds :) really low frequencies are not audible on laptop speakers or phones. They are only going to produce higher freq noise at best. If you cut them, everyones happy, not only on high quality speakers and headphones :) I just happen to be an audio engineer and my headphones and speakers are quite flat and full range and i notice it :)
Does it has a backlight?
no, eink paper dont have a backlights.
@@4ae109 haha thats right - but does it have a frontlight?
How do you get something that is currently in crowdfunding phase? Ends 11 Jul, but you already have one? 🤔
Their goal is $10 000 They've raised $16 870 so far.
Maybe I don't understand how crowdfunding works. Doesn't the product only get made when the crowdfunding ends?
The design happens before the manufacturing campaign. You need to have something to manufacture first unless you want people to invest in pie-in-the-sky. First you design, then you prototype, then you decide how you want to approach manufacturing once you have an idea that actually works. If I were manufacturing any kind of MPU/display board, there is nobody I would approach for a demo before Volos Projects. The board's designer obviously wanted some of the best talent available to attract people to the crowdfunding. If something is popular and manufacturing allows for it the initial run can always be extended to get products to more supporters, either by making the run size larger or doing a subsequent run or runs. I contributed to the NAND Land Go Board crowdfunding a decade ago and it's still available for purchase. Highly recommended too if you want to get into FPGAs.
@@Peter_S_ Interesting. At no point was it mentioned that this was a "sponsored" video. That makes a lot more sense.
So what he has there is a pre-production "prototype".
@@2000jago He did say the "crowd funder" sent him the sample. Crowd funding, almost by definition, means that the product is not yet being marketed. If someone at an ice cream shop offers you a sample to taste, are they sponsoring you? I generally assume "sponsoring" to involve monetary compensation, maybe a cut of the sales, regular supplies of products, a contract, etc.
I know the owner, he send me one prototype
@@2000jago "Sponsored" seems a completely inaccurate description. I don't know either party but my assumption was this was a pre-production alpha and was one of a small batch of boards which went to several persons who could test and possibly make a cool demo. Maybe alpha testing is done and it's at beta stage but in any case the people who make demos and play with the boards at this stage become testers and they often uncover the rare use cases where there's a bug in the design. Testers are a standard and vital part of any successful project.
backlight ?
The point of e-paper is that is works like paper. If you want to read it, turn on the light in the room!
@@dkkruithof From your answer I gather that it doesn't have a backlight. The point of this device is that if it had had backlighting I would have bought it because I need it to create a boat dashboard that is readable even in the dark. Frankly, I don't need your lesson on the point of this device.
Man that would be so cool for in car stuff
Yes, i wish i have some old car i can play with
This is pure ASMR!
The raccoon bit killed me
interesana naprava
rodila te majka sto kazu za ovakve stvarchice
pozdrav i svako dobro
Super impressive!
The screen seems to go black regularly in the dashboard demo (probably to reduce ghosting) - is this something you can control yourself in the code or is this done automatically by the display controller?
I controled this in code, after 120 frames, screen is doing full refresh, that is recomended by soldered.
Very limited use case, Waveshare is at $50 and paper thin. of course it's slow refresh.
impressive features!
Play Bad Apple on it!
Love the "Vroom" noises
Still too expensive for my budget unfortunately.
Don't forget about the limited lifetime.
🌄хороший сценарий использования таких экранов на улице , ни один монитор не "пересветит" солнце .
$200?!? Holy @#$%!! That's a fully mini PC price. :/
Yes, this tehnology is not cheap.
This will make the americans pronounce soldered correctly rather than sodder
Love it 🤩

Amazon product! Its too bad it doesn't have an audio capabilities.
Excellent! 👍
Amazing.
dood, buy a pop shield for your mic.
Wake me up when they habe 30FPS e-paper.
Cool !
So fast update
Your demo is impressive, but not very practical. A car dashboard with that periodic 'flash to black' full refresh would be very distracting to the driver. Also I wonder about the power consumption. If the fast update pushes power consumption up to monochrome LCD levels, there is not a lot of point (except that the only remaining monochrome graphical LCD seems to be the expensive Sharp Memory Display).
I don't think he intended it as a practical application; it was just something that included quick motion. Also, regarding battery consumption, consider a situation where you want occasional rapid refresh, but is normally more like an ereader.
whole idea lost when see the price
Their products are always grossly overpriced. I'll never buy from them at the prices they keep asking.
