About Badger 2040 W
Badger 2040 W is a programmable E Paper/eInk/EPD badge with 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, powered by Raspberry Pi Pico W. It can go into a deep sleep mode between updates to preserve battery.
Badger 2040 W ships with MicroPython firmware pre-loaded, but you can download the most recent version at the link below (you'll want the pimoroni-badger2040w .uf2). If you download the -with-examples file, it will come with examples built in.
Badger 2040 W and PicoGraphics
The easiest way to start displaying cool stuff on Badger is by using our badger2040w module (which contains helpful functions for interacting with the board hardware) and our PicoGraphics library (which contains a bunch of functions for drawing on the E Ink display).
