PIMORONI Inky Pack with Raspberry Pi Pico W

 The PIMORONI Inky Pack is compact 296x128 pixel mono E Ink pack.

It has a socket for a Pico or Picow W, plus a Reset button.

The use of the the Inky Pack and a Raspberry Pi Pico W allows information to be obtained from outside sources and displayed on the Inky Pack. The E-Ink display only needs power when changing the display. Once changed, the display remains even when the power is removed (you may notice that there is no power cable in the photographs).

These are test runs with the data source being the BBC Weather RSS feed.
