The SquaryPi and SquaryFi systems, LCD screens with Raspberry Pi or EPS12E substructures, may also be utilized by makers and hobbyists for applications such as smart homes.
The goal of the Squary boards is to make it simple for consumers and producers to employ LCD panels in a variety of application areas. A development board and such a display are used for this, allowing a range of materials to be presented on the display.
Similar to the SquaryFi, the SquaryPi has a 1.54-inch LCD screen with 240 × 240-pixel resolution and 350 cd/m2 brightness. Displaying 65, 000 colors is possible. The number of IO pins required by the display is decreased by the use of a GC9A01 display driver and the SPI interface.
The rear of the SquaryPi features a programmable button, extra GPIO connections for attaching external sensors and actuators, charging electronics, and a Raspberry Pi 2040, which, as usual, has two M0+ cores and a 264 KB SRAM.
In comparison to the Raspberry Pi 2040, the SquaryFi employs an ESP-12E microcontroller, which should perform particularly well because it supports WiFi 802.11 b/g/n. The board's hardware is generally nearly identical to that of the SquaryPi, with the exception of the absence of a microSD card port.
Both the SquaryPi and the SquaryFi can be pre-ordered on Kickstarter right now, with costs beginning at £23 for the SquaryPi and £25 for the SquaryFi, respectively. By February of next year, we want to have shipped every award.
