4. Поставување и работа
4.1 Како функционира
The e-Paper display operates on a passive NFC principle. To update the display content, you need an NFC-enabled device, such as a smartphone or a dedicated NFC reader (e.g., ST25R3911B NFC Board). Simply bring the NFC device close to the e-Paper module. The NFC field will provide the necessary power for the e-Paper to refresh its display, and simultaneously transfer the new data.

- Position your smartphone's NFC antenna (usually near the top or center of the phone) directly over the e-Paper module.
