Tinta Tap

Android companion app for Tinta — the low-power, battery-powered e-paper signage device.

Tinta Tap uses NFC (ISO 15693 / NfcV) to write short commands to a Tinta device's ST25DV NFC tag while the device is powered off (the tag is energised by the phone's RF field). Subsequently, the Tinta circuit is powered and applies the command: switch page, show a text message or a hand-drawn image, book a desk, and more.

  • Requires an Android phone with NFC. iOS is not supported.
  • NFC wire protocol: see PROTOCOL.md — definition of the employed protocol, kept in sync with the Tinta firmware.
  • License: Apache-2.0 (see LICENSE).

Status

Early. This repository starts from a working demonstrator (a single-screen NFC writer) and is being grown eventually.

Build

Standard Android Studio / Gradle project (Kotlin).
