# Welcome to the Wireless_Eink_HomeScreen wiki!
|
||||
|
||||
The point of this wiki is to help as many people get started with their project!
|
||||
|
||||
So I've written some pages with guides to make it as painless as possible.

# But First, an introduction about the parts needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### ESP32
|
||||
ESP32 is a cheap microcontroller that has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support. You can think of it as the brain controlling what is going to be visible on the screen. We will tell it to display pictures sent over Wi-Fi.

### E-Ink Display
|
||||
E-ink or e-paper display is a kind of display that is very energy efficient and only requires electricity when it's updating the displayed image. It's paper-like and doesn't light up, therefor it's a good energy efficient part for this project. A common place to see E-ink displays are reading tablets like Amazon Kindle or the timetable displays at bus stops.

_The above image is not the specific display used in the project._
|
||||
|

## For this project, we will use a display and microcontroller from the brand Waveshare.

* 7.5inch e-Paper (B) [Black, White, Red]
|
||||
* E-Paper ESP32 Driver Board
|
||||
* A computer to run the host program that creates the images.
