Customer:
I want to build a personal notepad and reader based on the Inkplate 6PLUS. Does it support an e-pen? What kind of battery will fit the enclosure?

Soldered Support:
The Inkplate 6PLUS touch screen is roughly precise and suitable for buttons and on-screen keyboards, but not for pen input. It lacks the precision needed for writing and the touchscreen response is not fast enough for pen-based input.
For the battery, a 1200mAh li-ion battery (3.7V) is available that fits the enclosure. Check the battery specifications for exact dimensions.
Note: The Inkplate 6FLICK is the current version with a different panel but very similar features. Both versions are supported in the library, though 6FLICK has the latest examples.
