Hardware

There are three versions of StatusPanel with each being defined by its choice of display:

• 

  Version 2

  Based on the Pimoroni Inky Impression 4.

• 

  Version 1

  Based on the Waveshare 640x384 7.5" Three-Color E-Ink HAT for Raspberry Pi.

• 

  Mini

  Based on the Adafruit ESP32-S2 TFT Feather.

In order to ease prototyping and development, we have two hardware platforms:

• ESP32 (Lua)
  Low-power, robust to power cycling and perfect for battery powered devices.
• Raspberry Pi (Python)
  Enables incredibly rapid bring-up and testing of new screens as they are often well supported on Raspberry Pis.

Our long-term focus is on designing a custom PCB for ESP32-based devices.
