2.66-inch E-Paper Module for Pico

This 2.66-inch e-paper display module targets makers building low-power projects with a Raspberry Pi Pico. It shows black and white content at 296×152 pixels and retains the last image without any backlight when power is removed. The board connects through a standard SPI interface that uses only a few GPIO pins. Example code in C/C++ and MicroPython is included to speed up development.

Thermals noise and power draw

Because the panel is bi-stable, it draws current only during a refresh and consumes virtually nothing while holding a static image. No backlight means no continuous illumination load and no fan or active cooling is required. The board therefore runs silently and stays cool even during frequent partial updates. This behaviour suits battery-powered or solar-charged nodes that must operate for weeks between charges.

Build quality and connectors

The compact PCB exposes the SPI pins and power rails on a standard header that plugs directly into a Pico or a compatible breadboard layout. Mounting holes are not described in the data, so mechanical fixing relies on the pin friction or an external carrier. The supplied documentation covers wiring, driver initialisation and partial-refresh timing for both supported languages. Projects needing colour, greyscale or a larger active area will require a different module.
