E-paper EPD PICtail Plus Daughter Board is an extension board to the Microchip® Explorer 16 Development Board. EPD PICtail Plus Daughter Board is designed to kick-start e-paper development with Microchip Graphic Library and PIC Microcontrollers including PIC24, dsPIC33 and PIC32 families. E-paper is ideal for low power applications that need good visibility in sunlight or direct light conditions. Use with the Processor PIM that ships with the Explorer 16, or upgrade to an XLP PIM, such as PIC24FJ128GA310 PIM ( MA240029) for lowest power operation.
