Customer:
I’m planning to use a Raspberry Pi 3b+ to run Mac MiniOS emulating system 6.0 on this screen. What additional hardware would I need to make this work?

Soldered Support:
Are you planning to use just the e-ink panel with the Raspberry Pi and design a custom PCB, or are you referring to using the entire Inkplate 10 device? If you’re referring to the complete Inkplate 10, unfortunately, it’s not possible to use it as an external monitor—there are no connectors for HDMI or similar video input.
Also, be aware that even in black-and-white mode, the refresh rate is under 2 frames per second, so it may not be suitable for real-time display applications.
If you’re considering building your own board, start with the hardware files, which include schematics and component details: GitHub - SolderedElectronics/Soldered-Inkplate-10-hardware-design: Hardware design, BOM, gerbers and 3D files for Soldered-Inkplate-10 designed by Soldered Electronics. · GitHub
