## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE06381:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE06381:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

A low-energy, high-falutin, electronic paper (ePaper / eInk / EPD) display for your Pi!

Inky pHAT's beautiful 212x104 pixel, the display is ideal for displaying simple graphics and crisply-rendered text and, because it's like paper, it's readable in bright sunlight.

Use Inky pHAT as a cute little clock, display tweets on it, the weather, news headlines, sports scores, and more. It's also ideal for graphing data from remote sensors, CPU load or temperature, or stock prices.

**Note** that Inky pHAT uses a new display now (as of early December 2017), and requires updated software. The new software automagically detects the display version, so should work interchangeably with the old and new displays.

Also note that a change to the Python library to support the new colours of display means that you'll need to put *inkyphat.set\_colour("red")* just below the *import inkyphat* at the top of your code. Replace *"red"* with *"yellow"* or "*black"* depending on the colour of your Inky pHAT.

### Features

- 2.13" EPD display (212x104 pixels)
- [Inky pHAT pinout](https://pinout.xyz/pinout/inky_phat)
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W
- [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/inky-phat)
- Comes fully assembled

Multi-colour EPD displays, like the ones on Inky pHAT, use ingenious electrophoresis to pull coloured particles up and down on the display. The coloured particles reflect light, unlike most display types, meaning that they're visible under bright lights. It takes approximately 15 seconds to refresh the display, with a typical 8mA current draw during refreshes. The black/white display can be refreshed much more quickly, in just a second or two.

Everything comes fully-assembled, and there's no soldering required! The display is securely stuck down to the Inky pHAT PCB and connected via a ribbon cable. Just pop Inky pHAT on your Pi and run our installer to get everything set up!

It'll work with any 40-pin version of the Pi, including Pi Zero and Pi Zero W.

### Software

Pimoroni's[ Python library ](https://github.com/pimoroni/inky-phat)takes the stress out of displaying text and images on Inky pHAT, and our examples include a cute clock and weather display. Pimoroni has put together a one-line-installer for the Python library too, to make installation a little more straightforward.

*Pimoroni's software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.*

**Notes**

- *Overall dimensions: 65x30x8.5mm (WxHxD, depth includes header and display)*
- *Display usable area dimensions: 48.5x23.8mm (WxH), 2.13" diagonal*
