I’ve been building a few projects over the past 9 months (mostly low-power stuff with e ink display / e paper display / eink display setups), and I kept testing the products of 4 hardware providers trying to figure out what is best for my work

This isn’t sponsored or affiliated with anyone, just sharing what I’ve personally used and what worked (and didn’t) from a maker perspective

Also if you need any help with working on similar projects, feel free to DM me

Figured I’d put this together in case someone else is deciding between options

1. Soldered

I’ll start with Soldered because I ended up using them the most for anything related to e paper display projects

Project I used it for: I worked on a battery-powered home dashboard (weather + calendar + notifications) using their Inkplate 10 model

What stood out pretty quickly is that Inkplate isn’t just a raw eink display, it’s more of a complete system with:

ESP32 already integrated

power management handled

libraries + documentation actually…
