# EPD Driver This library contains a driver for E-Paper Modules mostly from Waveshare (which are basically the same as the Dalian Good Display ones). It uses the [embedded graphics](https://crates.io/crates/embedded-graphics) library for the optional graphics support. A 2018-edition compatible version (Rust 1.31+) is needed. Other similar libraries with support for much more displays are [u8g2](https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2) and [GxEPD](https://github.com/ZinggJM/GxEPD) for arduino. ## Examples There are multiple examples in the examples folder. Use `cargo run --example example_name` to try them. ```Rust // Setup the epd let mut epd4in2 = Epd4in2::new(&mut spi, busy, dc, rst, &mut delay, None).expect("eink initalize error"); // Setup the graphics let mut display = Display4in2::default(); // Build the style let style = MonoTextStyleBuilder::new() .font(&embedded_graphics::mono_font::ascii::FONT_6X10) .text_color(Color::White) .background_color(Color::Black) .build(); let text_style = TextStyleBuilder::new().baseline(Baseline::Top).build(); // Draw some text at a certain point using the specified text style let _ = Text::with_text_style("It's working-WoB!", Point::new(175, 250), style, text_style) .draw(&mut display); // Going to sleep epd4in2.sleep(&mut spi, &mut delay) ``` > Check the complete example [here](./examples/epd4in2.rs). ## (Supported) Devices | Device (with Link) | Colors | Flexible Display | Partial Refresh | Supported | Tested | | :---: | --- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | [7.5 Inch B/W/R V2/V3 (B)](https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1/7.5inch-e-paper-b.htm) | Black, White, Red | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [7.5 Inch B/W HD (A)](https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1/7.5inch-hd-e-paper-hat.htm) | Black, White | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [7.5 Inch B/W V2 (A)](https://www.waveshare.com/product/7.5inch-e-paper-hat.htm) [[1](#1-75-inch-bw-v2-a)] | Black, White | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [7.5 Inch B/W (A)](https://www.waveshare.com/product/7.5inch-e-paper-hat.htm) | Black, White | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [7.3 Inch HAT (F)](https://www.waveshare.com/product/7.3inch-e-paper-hat-f.htm) | Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [5.83 Inch B/W/R (b)](https://www.waveshare.com/5.83inch-e-Paper-B.htm) | Black, White, Red | ✕ | Not officially | ✔ | ✔ | | [5.65 Inch 7 Color (F)](https://www.waveshare.com/5.65inch-e-paper-module-f.htm) | Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [4.2 Inch B/W (A)](https://www.waveshare.com/product/4.2inch-e-paper-module.htm) | Black, White | ✕ | Not officially [[2](#2-42-inch-e-ink-blackwhite---partial-refresh)] | ✔ | ✔ | | [2.13 Inch B/W (A) V2](https://www.waveshare.com/product/2.13inch-e-paper-hat.htm) | Black, White | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | [2.13 Inch B/W/R (B/C) V2](https://www.waveshare.com/product/raspberry-pi/displays/e-paper/2.13inch-e-paper-hat-b.htm) | Black, White, Red | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [2.9 Inch B/W/R (B/C)](https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-2/2.9inch-e-paper-module-b.htm) | Black, White, Red | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [2.9 Inch B/W (A)](https://www.waveshare.com/product/2.9inch-e-paper-module.htm) | Black, White | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | [2.9 Inch B/W V2 (A)](https://www.waveshare.com/product/2.9inch-e-paper-module.htm) | Black, White | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | [2.7 Inch 3 Color (B)](https://www.waveshare.com/2.7inch-e-paper-b.htm) | Black, White, Red | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | [2.66 Inch 3 Color (B)](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Pico-ePaper-2.66-B) | Black, White, Red | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [1.54 Inch B/W/Y (C) (Discontinued)](https://www.waveshare.com/1.54inch-e-paper-module-c.htm) | Black, White, Yellow | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [1.54 Inch B/W/R (B)](https://www.waveshare.com/1.54inch-e-Paper-B.htm) | Black, White, Red | ✕ | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | | [1.54 Inch B/W (A)](https://www.waveshare.com/1.54inch-e-Paper-Module.htm) | Black, White | ✕ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ### [1]: 7.5 Inch B/W V2 (A) Since November 2019 Waveshare sells their updated version of these displays. They should have a "V2" marking sticker on the backside of the panel. Use `epd7in5_v2` instead of `epd7in5`, because the protocol changed. ### [2]: 4.2 Inch E-Ink Black/White - Partial Refresh Out of the Box the original driver from Waveshare only supports full updates. That means: Be careful with the quick refresh updates:
It's possible with this driver but might lead to ghosting / burn-in effects therefore it's hidden behind a feature. ### Interface | Interface | Description | | :---: | :--- | | VCC | 3.3V | | GND | GND | | DIN | SPI MOSI | | CLK | SPI SCK | | CS | SPI chip select (Low active) | | DC | Data/Command control pin (High for data, and low for command) | | RST | External reset pin (Low for reset) | | BUSY | Busy state output pin (Low for busy) | ### Display Configs There are two types of Display Configurations used in Waveshare EPDs, which also needs to be set on the "new" E-Paper Driver HAT. They are also called A and B, but you shouldn't get confused and mix it with the Type A,B,C and D of the various Displays, which just describe different types (colored variants) or new versions. In the Display Config the separation is most likely due to included fast partial refresh of the displays. In a Tabular form: | Type A | Type B | | :---: | :---: | | 1.54in (A) | 1.54in (B) | | 2.13in (A) | 1.54in (C) | | 2.13in (D) | 2.13in (B) | | 2.9in (A) | 2.13in (C) | | | 2.7in (A) | | | 2.7in (B) | | | 2.9in (B) | | | 2.9in (C) | | | 4.2in (A) | | | 4.2in (B) | | | 4.2in (C) | | | 7.5in (A) | | | 7.5in (B) | | | 7.5in (C) |
