Received two 2.7" EPaper displays and an adaptor for pervasive displays. These are Embedded Artists products and so far tests with an Arduino Uno are promising.
I would like to use this Embedded Artists Display module with an arduino uno to display up to 6 simple images of text. The images will be able to be cycled through by push button. Do you know what the maximum storage for the .xbm images is? Can you offer any insight on using this module with an ATmega328? is it a good idea or no?
Since trying the display with Arduino, I have been using it with Raspberry Pi. It has many advantages over Arduino. Speed and the ability to store many more images. I would recommend using the arduino if you are only updating the display infrequently with text. If you must use Arduino, using an SD card via SPI maybe a good option for holding images.
Embedded Artists website has good code examples available for download.
