Caster

Open-hardware high-refresh-rate electrophoretic display controller

Product Information

Description
Caster is an open-hardware controller specifically engineered to drive electrophoretic displays at high refresh rates, enabling smooth animations and rapid content updates on e-paper screens. The device provides precise voltage control and timing management for electrophoretic panels, supporting various display resolutions and interfaces while maintaining low power consumption. Key features include open-source hardware schematics and firmware, customizable waveform generation for different e-paper technologies, and compatibility with multiple display drivers through standardized connectors. This controller is particularly valuable for applications requiring dynamic content on e-paper, such as digital signage, interactive kiosks, wearable devices, and prototyping platforms where traditional e-paper's slow refresh limitations are problematic. By making the design openly available, Caster facilitates innovation in e-paper applications and allows developers to adapt the controller to specific display requirements or integrate it into custom hardware projects.
