Product information "Waveshare 2.13 inch E-Paper HAT+, 250x122, SPI, RTC, Immersion Gold, 3.3V"

Waveshare 2.13inch E-Paper HAT+
The Waveshare 2.13inch E-Paper HAT+ is an energy-saving E-Ink display with a resolution of 250×122 pixels that supports the Raspberry Pi HAT+ standard. The display is based on microcapsule electrophoresis technology and shows content without backlighting. The displayed image is retained even after switching off. The integrated DS3231 RTC chip enables precise time control.

The product was designed as a direct successor to the Waveshare 2.13" E-Paper V2 display and includes an integrated real-time clock. This function and the HAT+ conformity make it optimised for use in Pwnagotchi systems. A corresponding online tutorial for Pwnagotchi porting is available.

The immersion gold surface improves solderability, protects against corrosion and increases the reliability of the electrical contacts. The display supports partial and full updates with short switching times. The wide viewing angle of over 170° and the paper-like display behaviour enable a clear display even in direct light. Connections for SPI communication, lithium battery with JST connector and additional mounting holes are available.

The display is used for microcontroller and SBC projects that require a permanent, energy-efficient display under ambient light. Typical applications include electronic labels, clock displays, status panels and battery-powered IoT devices. The board is designed for Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and other devices with 40PIN GPIO header.

The product displays black and white content with two shades of grey and is suitable for applications where a static display without backlight is required. The display is permanently visible without power. The paper-like effect is based on the reflection of ambient light by electrically controlled microcapsules.

The integrated RTC chip controls time-controlled processes even without an active network connection. The immersion gold technology improves the contact quality and service life of the circuit board.

This product can be used to display texts, symbols or measured values on low-power devices. It is suitable for time-controlled displays with battery-operated microcontrollers and for systems such as Pwnagotchi. Due to the HAT+ conformity it can be placed directly on Raspberry Pi boards. The display reacts slowly compared to LCDs, but only consumes energy when switching and otherwise remains passive. Content remains visible after switching off.

Waveshare: High quality modules for your Raspberry Pi

Waveshare is a reliable specialist when it comes to displays, cameras and other modules for your Raspberry Pi. With the products of the innovative electronics expert, you can turn your computer into a true all-round device.

Waveshare provides an optimal view

You are looking for the ideal display module for your Raspberry Pi? At Berrybase you will find a wide range of products from Waveshare. Each display and all associated modules have been designed with the utmost precision and meet the highest demands - no matter what purpose the respective product is supposed to serve.

For example, the Waveshare ePaper HATs offer perfect conditions if you want a high display quality even in strong sunlight. A big advantage of ePaper displays is their extremely low energy consumption. The best example is the 2.13" 250×122 ePaper Display HAT with integrated controller, which is optimally tailored to the Raspberry Pi 2B, 3B, Zero and Zero W. The communication with this module is done via SPI interface. The ePaper display equipped with the HAT is limited to the colors black and white and reflects light like conventional paper. This is good for the display quality.

If you prefer a display in the three colors red, black and white to complement your Raspberry Pi, the 2.7" 264×176 ePaper Display HAT is recommended. It has the same technical features as the other Waveshare ePaper HATS.

Compact and of brilliant quality: The Waveshare 7 inch Display

The Waveshare 7 inch display, on the other hand, scores not only with its compact design, but also with a 1024x600 hardware resolution and capacitive touch control. On all devices with Raspberry Pi OS, the 7 inch LCD even works driver-free. The integrated 3.5mm jack enables sound output, while the image is produced via an HDMI connection. The impeccable quality manifests itself in a high-quality glass surface with a 6H hardness level.

At Berrybase, you can get the display including a robust case on request - so that it is optimally protected against external influences. Besides the Waveshare 7 inch display, the electronics specialist also has many other screens in different sizes available.

Waveshare Game HAT: Turning your Raspberry Pi into a game console

One of the top sellers at Berrybase is the Waveshare Game HAT for the Raspberry Pi. The controller transforms your computer into a mobile game console. The 3.5" IPS display convinces with a 480×320 resolution and ensures smooth image playback and thus unlimited gaming fun. The sound is reproduced via on-board speakers or optionally via the 3.5 mm jack socket. The battery of the Game HAT is charged via the integrated charging circuit. The module is compatible with the Raspberry Pi models A+, B+, 2B, 3B and 3B+. For other versions the connection via HDMI cable is possible.

If you want to turn your Raspberry Pi into a mobile retro console, we recommend the GamePi43 with a 4.3-inch IPS display, which is suitable for the Raspberry Pi models B+, 2B, 3B and 3B+, or the especially compact GamePi20. The latter features a 2.0-inch IPS display and is compatible with the Raspberry Pi Zero 1.3, Zero W as well as the Zero WH.

Practical accessories for every purpose

By the way: Waveshare's product range is also peppered with useful accessories for your Raspberry Pi. The Li-Ion battery HAT for example provides a mobile power supply for your computer. The 8 channel DIN rail relay module from Waveshare allows you to use your Raspberry Pi as a control module for tech projects in the home, for example to centrally control the home lighting or shutters. And with the Ethernet / USB HUB HAT, Waveshare has designed a module that extends the USB capability of your Raspberry Pi and provides an RJ45 Ethernet port. The latter offers an enormous added value when a stable wired Ethernet connection is required.
