Has anyone figured out how to make Inkplate10 function as regular display?

I'm not clever enough to make it work, but I'm assuming its something to do with peripheral mode

What do you mean by “regular display”?

As in, turn an inkplate10 into a secondary (or even primary) display for something like a raspberry pi.

I want to make an eink writing machine, something like a freewrite but not costing $500.

this video on the inkplate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVBetVqX_84

suggests there's a way to hook it up to a rasp pi, and that there may already be a demo project in the arduino library for typerwriter functionality. i'd recommend downloading their library and see what all it already includes

Your best bet is going to be to get one of these: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1....

and then find an rasp pi project that makes it work similar to freewrite

however you can also do this just fine with the inkplate, just program the arduino itself to have type-writer like behavior

i'd recommend researching to understand the display refresh rates and how well it'd work for something like adding a single character
