In this video, I try out several e-paper displays that I bought from Waveshare. Not knowing much about e-paper technology, I purchased a variety of sizes, and both 2-color and 3-color versions. In particular, I demo the 2.13" flexible, 2.13" 3-color, 2.7" 3-color hat, 5.83" 3-color, and 4.2" 2-color. After trying out the displays, I added some optical encoders to function as X and Y controls, and implemented an e-paper equivalent to an etch-a-sketch. For more electronics videos, see smbaker.com
