The Digital View EPM-100 interface board is designed for the large monochrome 32 and 42-inch E-Ink panels. The low power interface accepts an image transferred over USB from a source media player, such as Raspberry Pi or Android PC. E-ink panels are bi-stable, meaning power is only used to change an image. Solar power is an adequate solution is many display installations.
Digital View has developed an application that creates a playlist and transfers the images to the display, and is available for free in PC application and Pi media player form.
The following methods are examples for updating the image using a Raspberry Pi Model 3B with the EPM-100 interface board set:
- From PC to USB
- Via Google Drive
- Via network
The EPM-100 interface board set is an ideal solution for E-Ink e-paper display developers. Learn more about the e-paper display signage solutions available at Edge here.
