+## 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 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).
