# Tenet Brick
#Tenet #SharpMemory #rpi
A build in the [[tenet]] project.

This was the first prototype I built. It came about after a couple iterations of sketches and ideas.
My goal with this was to learn how to connect a SHARP Memory Display as the main display for a Raspberry Pi.

I discovered that while I can use the display (for a terminal), it is quite small. The model I'm using is 2.7" and 400x240 pixels. There's a larger model with the same number of pixels that I haven't tried yet.

The display is monochrome, with no back- or front-lighting. It communicates with the Pi over [SPI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface), so some custom software was necessary to use it as a monitor.
