# E-Ink Display Demo

[Propeller 2 Quick Byte: E Ink How-To](https://www.youtube.com/embed/vzVvkTh90Rs?feature=oembed)

##### Description

E-Ink (Electronic Ink) displays are commonly used in low powered applications and mimic the appearance of print on paper. They are widely used for the paper-like displays used in e-readers, and now are easy to use with Parallax P2 microcontroller projects too.

This video shows how to connect together the parts required to run the example source code, which was provided by Stephen Moraco at Ironsheep. The very latest version of the code can also be found at the IronSheep GitHub repository  [https://github.com/ironsheep/P2-Click-eInk](https://github.com/ironsheep/P2-Click-eInk)

For help please feel free to ask your questions here, at the GitHub page, or ideally for a wider audience of helpers at our [https://forums.parallax.com](https://forums.parallax.com/)

We hope the eInk displays will become a useful addition to your product, project or knowledge base! They are certainly an interesting display to experiment with.
