Introduction The EPD-132 is a development kit with development tools which support the ultra- low power 2.4GHz RF wireless protocol integrated with the 13.3" R/B/W & B/W EPD in an ARM Cortex-M4 processor. Users may use this kit to experience how wireless modules deliver images to e-Paper and how e-Paper displays images.

1.3.1 Advantech EPD-132 Development Kit This architecture is composed of TFTP server, Tera Term, and EPD-132 (ePaper and controller). Physically, the development kit uses ED22 to connect between the control host computer and the EPD-132 module. Users control EPD-132 module through Tera Term on the host computer, so the image can be delivered wirelessly to ePaper when the user executes the command in Tera term.
This section provides board level PCBA design in #3.1 and the system level refer- ence design in #3.2. EPD-132 PCBA has the following spec. PCBA: 108 x 122 x 3.9 mm PCB thickness: 3 mm ± 10% ...
Humidity: 60% RH+-10%RH, Non-condensing Note! If the panel module has been in low temperatures between 0~-25 °C for a while, we recommend to leave it between 20 to 30 °C for 4 days before assembly. EPD-132 Development Kit User Manual...
