e-paper driversupport til LaunchPad udviklingskits
Pervasive Displays samarbejder med Energia IDE om at tilføje ultra-low power e-paper driversupport til Texas Instruments LaunchPad udviklingskits (in english).
Pervasive Displays, a world leader in e-paper displays today announced the results of its collaboration with community-driven and open source electronics prototyping platform provider Energia. The Energia integrated development environment (IDE) provides similar support for the Texas Instruments (TI) family of LaunchPad development platforms as the Arduino and Wiring IDE.Designed to bring the same Arduino-style application development simplicity to the LaunchPad ecosystem, the Energia IDE provides support across the range of MSP430 microcontroller(MCU)-, MSP432 MCU, SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 wireless MCU- and TM4C microcontroller boards.
Within Energia IDE’s Library Manager all the necessary driver libraries for the range of Pervasive Displays 1.44 to 4.2 inch e-paper displays are built in. In addition, support for future three-color displays is accommodated.
Full support is also provisioned for the recently announced EPD Extension Kit Gen kit extension board that is constructed in a TI LaunchPad kit and BoosterPack plug-in module-compliant format. By incorporating native IDE driver support, both Pervasive Displays and Energia are easing the development of designs that use e-paper displays. E-paper displays are ideal where power budget restrictions mean that driving an LCD display is not possible. E-paper only requires energy to change the information displayed.
- Integrating ease of access to e-paper displays by providing full library support through our LaunchPad kit ecosystem and the Energia IDE gives developers every opportunity to trial their capabilities and incorporate them into their next design. Energia support for the e-paper BoosterPack module will enable the maker community in their various endeavours, says Adrian Fernandez, microcontroller customer experience manager at TI.
