Papyr: Open Hardware nRF52840 ePaper Display
Papyr is a Nordic nRF52840 epaper display that can be used for various low power wireless applications. It combines two core ideas: a low power wireless technology combined with a low power display system. By choosing the Nordic nRF52840 SoC, Papyr is able to support not only BLE but mesh networking protocols like Thread, BLE Mesh, and Zigbee. It can be controlled via an Android app, with iOS support coming later on.
The company also offers a case, a user kit adding a CR2477 battery and laser-cut case, and a developer kit. The board runs Zephyr Project with the default firmware source code, and some hardware files available on Gitlab.
