PaPiRus – an e-paper HAT for the Raspberry Pi from @PiSupply

Last month, I covered Neil Matthews’ e-paper HAT for the Raspberry Pi. If you missed out on that Kickstarter, there’s another one that has been running for a little while and now has just 10 days left. This HAT has been developed by Aaron Shaw and his team over at Pi Supply and is called the PaPiRus (which is just a cool name). The HAT can power three different-sized screens: 1.44″, 2.0″ & 2.7″. The HAT comes with 4 onboard buttons (which come free with the board, thanks to a stretch goal) to give you various control options and a real-time clock chip.

The small screen is currently £25, the medium screen is currently £28 and the large is £35.

You can back the Kickstarter here and view their promo video below. Aaron has shown in the past that his team is very good at delivering on-time (or close to it) so it’s a good bet that this one will come to fruition. All the development has already been completed, so it’s just a case of ordering the board and screens in quantity.
