With the Inkplate 10, one can use an ESP32 e-Paper display without connecting it to a machine like the Raspberry Pi. The Inkplate 10 also has a peripheral mode for use with devices such as the Raspberry Pi, but its Wi-Fi connectivity makes it more versatile than many e-Paper displays. The Inkplate 10 also promises up to 37% faster refresh rates than typical e-Paper displays, among other improvements.
