E Paper projects

E-paper projects trade animation speed for a readable, persistent, low-power surface. Pimoroni’s Badger 2040 repository supplies MicroPython firmware and launcher-style apps for Badger 2040 W, including badges, clocks, ebooks, checklists, QR codes, weather, news, and network details. That model differs from an LCD loop: content is composed around deliberate refreshes and can remain visible without continuous redraw. Choose between a regular UF2 that retains user files and a with-badger-os image that installs the full launcher and filesystem. The latter is destructive, so back up scripts and assets first. Wi-Fi examples also require local credentials in WIFI_CONFIG.py; never publish that file with real network secrets. Compare compatible devices, explore original projects and use the linked guides to get moving.
