e-Paper Display Pinout

e-ink pinout
  • VCC: Power supply (3.3V or 5V) to power the display.
  • GND: Ground
  • DIN (MOSI): SPI data line for sending information from the microcontroller to the display.
  • CLK (SCK): Synchronizes data transmission over SPI.
  • CS (Chip Select, Active Low): Enables or disables SPI communication. When LOW, the display is active.
  • DC (Data/Command Select): Determines whether the data being sent is pixel data (HIGH) or a command (LOW).
  • RST (Reset, Active Low): Resets the display when pulled LOW and then HIGH. Essential for initialization.
  • BUSY: Indicates whether the display is currently processing (HIGH) or ready to receive new commands (LOW).
