# Seven color e-paper photo frame
Battery operated photo frame using the [Advanced Color ePaper (ACeP™) display from Waveshare](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5.65inch_e-Paper_Module_(F)). The display has seven colors and measure 5.56 inch, 600 by 448 pixels. Overall dimensions: 125.4 x 99.5 x 9mm (WxHxD, depth includes header and display). Display usable area dimensions: 114.9 x 85.8mm (WxH). The images are preprocessed using [Floyd-Steinberg dithering](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/E-Paper_Floyd-Steinberg) to reduce to 7 colors and still have a reasonable quality and stored on a SD-card. An Arduino is used to read from the SD-card and write to the display. [lenna.bmp](https://github.com/robertmoro/7ColorEPaperPhotoFrame/blob/main/lenna.bmp) is a ready to use example image.

## BOM
- [7 Color ePaper display](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5.65inch_e-Paper_Module_(F))
- Arduino pro-mini
- SD card reader (images storage)
- LDR (to not change the image in the dark)
- N-channel MOS FET (for example AO3402) (to switch off the SD card reader)
- 2x AA of 2x AAA battery holder 
- [3.3 volt mini boost converter](https://www.ebay.com/itm/282029936915?hash=item41aa4b5113:g:iCQAAOSwlR9a22vT) (power supply)
- Capacitor 220uF or bigger (power supply filter)
- Capacitor 100nF (power supply filter)
- [3D printed frame](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4879693)

To make the Adruino and SD card reader low power, remove the voltage regulator.

## Wire up the Display, and SD-card reader to the Arduino (Uno / Nano / Pro-Mini)
Pins Arduino <=> SD Card module
- 10 - CS / SS
- 11 - MOSI / DI
- 12 - MISO / DO
- 13 - SCK / CLK
- GND - GND
- Vcc - 3.3V

Pins Arduino <=> 7 color e-paper display
- 7 - BUSY
- 8 - RST
