[WIP] Displaying artwork on Raspberry PI + Eink
By michael
Placeholder for documentation of connecting 4.2 Waveshare Eink display to Raspberry PI. After connection is made, loading and display my personal artwork.
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B from Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4296 Display on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074NR1SW2
Don’t forget the micro SD, I went with a 32GB from SanDisk https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-2-Pack-microSDHC-Memory-2x32GB/dp/B08J4HJ98L
Waveshare 4.2inch Display docs https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4.2inch_e-Paper_Module_Manual#Introduction
Raspberry PI pin connections and configuration https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4.2inch_e-Paper_Module_Manual#Hardware_Connection
I chose to go with the Python docs https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4.2inch_e-Paper_Module_Manual#Python
Used this example code as a starting place https://github.com/waveshareteam/e-Paper/blob/master/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python/examples/epd_4in2_test.py
