2 open source boards using the e-paper

Real designs built with the e-paper, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

e-paper: common questions

Where can I find a e-paper reference design?

Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the e-paper. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

What parts are used alongside the e-paper?

The AP2112K-3.3, RP2040, USBLC6-2P6 and W25Q16JVSS appear in the most repositories here.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the e-paper use?

Most are built on RP2040/RP2350 (2).

How big is a typical board using the e-paper?

The median is 73 × 41 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the e-paper?

By GitHub stars, Pcb-Badge by souptik-samanta, with 4 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the e-paper before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
