Pimoroni Inky Impression 7.3” - 2025 Edition?

[jazztunes]

Looks like Pimoroni has an updated (2025) version of the Inky Impression 7.3” with a refresh time of 12 seconds! Is the 2025 version supported? Appears the older one is no longer available.

What is the 2025 Edition?
A new generation of ePaper is coming and we’re so excited! 2025 Edition uses a new Spectra 6 E Ink® display panel which brings a number of improvements over the panels that we’ve used previously - notably a shorter refresh time (around 12 seconds) and more saturated colours. It also comes in an extended range of sizes, so we’ve been able to make a huge 13.3” (1600 x 1200 pixel) version - that’s almost A4 size!

This is a good catch. I ordered the 2025 version not realizing there was an older version of the display. Hopefully the pin-outs are the same.

Well, let us know how it goes!

Even if the pin-outs are the same new drivers may be needed since the display technology is different. We'll see!

Yes, the newer displays will be supported!
I'll be getting my hands on them soon and they should work out of the box with the source code since I'm using Pimoroni's inky library to auto detect the drivers but if not I'll make any changes needed.

Very cool. Thanks for the reply!

Can confirm it works.

That's great news! I just realized there was a merge for this a couple weeks ago, its great you were able to confirm the new 2025 screens work.

Thanks for posting.
