2.13inch Touch e-Paper Display with ABS Case for Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W/Raspberry Pi Zero/Pi Zero W/Pi Zero WH, 250x122 Pixels E-Ink, Paper-Like Effect Support Partial Refresh

Worked great for a fun little project I did, a pretty popular I imagine of your landing here too. However, do not expect to use a Pi Sugar with this as it’s a fantastic enclosure, but obviously won’t work with pogo pins

easy to use and great for mini projects

Does exactly what I want. If you know, you know. ui.display.enabled = true ui.display.type = "waveshare_3" ui.invert = false

Using the case to run Pi-Hole with a simple dashboard. This case sure makes the Zero 2 W run hot. It runs around 55 degrees C. The user manual on the Waveshare site has you put a thermal paste square over the bottom vent hole which seems not optimal. Once I figure out a heat sink that will fit under the screen, it should be better.

The documentation with the screen is NON-EXISTENT. The documentation on their website is worthless. It is not for a specific screen but for several screens, all of which could be the one you purchased because they don't label them properly (it might have a V4 sticker on the screen but it's a V3 or something else entirely). They have NO support, supposed e-mail form on their site just errors out when you try to submit. Their code examples are YEARS OLD AND OUT-OF-DATE. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR MONEY ON THESE.

I bought this as a test unit after I thought I destroyed one I was trying to hardwire. Contrary to what the manufacturer will tell you, the solders pads are NOT connected to the header. So if you want to hardwire you need to pull connections directly off the header. Also, the reason I bought this one is because after hardwiring I lost access to the touchscreen so I thought I broke something. Turns out the manufacturer's cabling diagram is missing one significant piece - you also need to bring power across in order for the touchscreen to work! I'm using the 5v pin but 3.3v would probably also work (not tested). Overall, nice little screen but getting it hardwired was seriously frustrating and I'm a more than a little annoyed with Waveshare for not providing accurate documentation.
