Using Inkplate 10 as an e-ink monitor with Raspberry Pi

Customer:

I’m planning a project where a Raspberry Pi device uses an Inkplate 10 as the main or secondary display, like an e-ink monitor. Is this possible? Has anyone done this before?

I’ve wired e-ink screens to Raspberry Pis before, but only as a secondary display with images pushed out intermittently using libraries. From the documentation it looks like peripheral mode might be what I’m looking for, but I can’t find much information on how to use it.

Are there any community examples of using peripheral mode, or another way, to use an Inkplate this way?

Inkplate 10 will probably be too slow for your application and you will need to write your own code. You can learn more about peripheral mode at Inkplate Peripheral Mode — Inkplate docs documentation
