Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards, Jetson NanoNo backlight, keeps displaying last content for a long time even when power down;Ultra low power consumption, basically power is only required for refreshingPreserved solder pads for SPI interface, for connecting with other controller boards likeNucleo, etc.Onboard voltage translator, compatible with 3.3V/5V MCUsComes with development resources and manual (examples for Raspberry Pi/Jetson Nano), download here:www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.13inch_e-Paper_HAT
So basically, what /u/BlorpyRobot said about this being in alpha. The below components are what I ordered, and they worked. However, there may be better parts (I believe that screen is the "v1" model), things may change in the future, etc. Some of them may work better or worse than others (any power pack that will power a pi zero should work, there's several eink screens to pick from, etc.). Some of it is just preference, do you want a large power pack that lasts a long time, or something smaller and more portable?

If you don't mind all the maybes and have no problem hacking together an alpha project though, go for it. If I could pick my parts, I would probably get the v2 version of the WaveShare e-Ink screen. However, I don't know how to ensure I get the correct version (even directly from WaveShare) or if this is really the best (it is, I believe, the original screen that was used though).
