Datasheet
3-5V / Vin - this is the power pin, connect to 3-5VDC - it has reverse polarity protection but try to wire it right!
3.3V out - this is the 3.3V output from the onboard regulator, you can 'borrow' about 100mA if you need to power
some other 3.3V logic devices
GND - this is the power and signal ground pin
ENAble - This pin is all the way on the right. It is connected to the enable pin on the onboard regulator that
powers everything. If you want to
really
have the lowest possible power draw, pull this pin low! Note that if you
do so you will cut power to the eInk display but also the SPI RAM (thus erasing it) and the SD card (which means
you'll have to re-initialize it when you re-power
Data Control Pins
SCK - this is the SPI clock input pin, required for e-Ink, SRAM and SD card
MISO - this is the SPI Master In Slave Out pin, its used for the SD card and SRAM. It isn't used for the e-Ink
display which is write-only, however you'll likely be using the SRAM to buffer the display so connect this one too!
MOSI - this is the SPI Master Out Slave In pin, it is used to send data from the microcontroller to the SD card,
SRAM and e-Ink display
ECS - this is the E-Ink Chip Select, required for controlling the display
D/C - this is the e-Ink Data/Command pin, required for controlling the display
SRCS - this is the SRAM Chip Select, required for communicating with the onboard RAM chip.
SDCS - this is the SD card Chip Select, required for communicating with the onboard SD card holder. You can
leave this disconnected if you aren't going to access SD cards
RST - this is the E-Ink ReSeT pin, you may be able to share this with your microcontroller reset pin but if you can,
connect it to a digital pin.
BUSY - this is the e-Ink busy detect pin, and is optional if you don't want to connect the pin (in which case the
code will just wait an approximate number of seconds)
