Review on Waveshare 7.5inch E-Ink Display HAT for Raspberry Pi – 800×480 Resolution, Embedded Controller, SPI Interface, Support for Raspberry Pi Series Boards and Jetson Nano by Brian Motley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Fragile and undocumented

The only thing I want to pay more attention to are the reviews on how fragile it is. The connector on the display itself is indeed incredibly fragile and barely connected to the display. It cannot be inserted into the supplied e-paper adapter without bending or pressing, and it can be completely detached from the screen with just a light pressure. The connector is placed on the commands once with no visible damage, does not respond. I was trying to reinsert the connector when it broke, which I didn't even notice until I reinserted the connector. I will definitely not buy another plug as it is fragile, I will just cut my losses and try to find another similar product, hopefully with a stronger and easier to insert plug.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
