Thank you for your answers.
dhunt do you have a description or publication of your project with the lpc2106 ARM?
Or in general do you know a publication of any projekt with an eink display like this?

Where did you buy the display from?

I don't have this display yet but you can buy it on ebay.

Perhaps you or anybody else are more interested in my idea and have some good tips for me :-)
Maybe you know the open source handeld open pandora (openpandora.org). I think it would be nice if you could turn off the normal screen and have a additional screen (e-ink) which is connected via bluetooth or just usb. so you can read ebooks... Also this would be nice to connect it to an smartphone or similar.
The problem is I don't have a lot of experience in these things and it looks like it is not the simplest  idea....

Hi,
I'm trying to understand the datasheet of an e-ink display.
The data sheet can be found here: http://www.avidia.com.tw/docs/product/LB060S01-FD01.pdf

My first question is: do you think it's realistic to get this display running with an arduino?

Then I've some understanding problems with the Interface Connections.
What excactly means Vneg and Vpos? How can I have a negative volt? And what is Vdd? I have three volt sources (Vneg, Vpos, Vdd) and one ground, right? Whats the difference between the three?
Also it would be nice if somebody could descripe the function of CL, LE and OE...
The best I think would be a description of the function of every Conncetion.... But I also would be happy if you just answer my first questions.

Thank you very much!

Hi,
thanks for all the answers. I think I understood the point with the brakets.
I get a signal from the Buttons and the LED's are also blinking but the problem is that they are also blinking when the buttons aren't pressed.
I've so many wires to the LED's because of I've 4 LED's (2 and 2). On the picture above you can see the secound very bad.
I've got another picture but it's very confusing sorry. I made it with the programm fritzing. Perhaps I can make an better one on monday.


thanks for your help!

Hi,
I'm a really beginner with Arduino an I tried to make a Blinker.
So if I press Button1 the LED 1 shoud blink and if I press Button2 LED2 should blink.

my code:

Code:

const int buttonPinRight = 3;
const int buttonPinLeft =  10;
const int ledPinLeft = 8;
const int ledPinRight = 6;

int buttonStateRight = LOW;
int buttonStateLeft = LOW;
int ledStateLeft = LOW;
int ledStateRight = LOW;

long previousMillisRight = 0;
long intervalRight = 500;
long previousMillisLeft = 0;
long intervalLeft = 500;

unsigned long currentMillis;

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPinLeft, OUTPUT);     
  pinMode(ledPinRight, OUTPUT);

  pinMode(buttonPinRight, INPUT);     
  pinMode(buttonPinLeft, INPUT); 
 
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop(){
  buttonStateRight = digitalRead(buttonPinRight);
  if (buttonStateRight == HIGH){
    if (millis() - previousMillisRight > intervalRight) {
      previousMillisRight = millis();   
      if (ledStateRight == LOW)
        ledStateRight = HIGH;
      else
        ledStateRight = LOW;
      digitalWrite(ledPinRight, ledStateRight);
    }
  }else{
    if (ledStateRight == HIGH){
      ledStateRight = LOW;
      digitalWrite(ledPinRight, ledStateRight); 
    }
  }
 
  // ...and the same with Left
  buttonStateLeft = digitalRead(buttonPinLeft);
  if (buttonStateLeft == HIGH){
    if (millis() - previousMillisLeft > intervalLeft) {
      previousMillisLeft = millis();   
      if (ledStateLeft == LOW)
        ledStateLeft = HIGH;
      else
        ledStateLeft = LOW;
      digitalWrite(ledPinLeft, ledStateLeft);
    }
  }else{
    if (ledStateLeft == HIGH){
      ledStateLeft = LOW;
      digitalWrite(ledPinLeft, ledStateLeft); 
    }
  }
}

It's also blink when the buttons are not pressed...

What is wrong?

Thanks for your help!
