DescriptionThe Sharp Memory display is a blend of an eInk (e-paper) display and an LCD. It has the very-low power draw of eInk and fast-refresh rates of an LCD.

Moddable uses the Kuzyatech Sharp Memory display breakout board to interface with the display FFC and boost the ESP8266 power to the 5V needed to drive the display.

Moddable example code

The balls example is good for testing this display. To run a debug build, use the following build command:

cd $MODDABLE/examples/piu/balls
mcconfig -d -m -p esp/sharp_memory
