CircuitPython `displayio` driver for SSD1681-based ePaper displays
Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_
or individual libraries can be installed using
`circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>`_.
Adafruit 1.54" Tri-Color eInk / ePaper 200x200 Display with SRAM
`Purchase one from the Adafruit shop <http://www.adafruit.com/products/4868>`_
Installing from PyPI
=====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1681/>`_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1681
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1681
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1681
Usage Example
=============
.. code-block:: python
import time
import board
import displayio
import fourwire
import adafruit_ssd1681
displayio.release_displays()
# This pinout works on a Feather M4 and may need to be altered for other boards.
spi = board.SPI() # Uses SCK and MOSI
epd_cs = board.D9
epd_dc = board.D10
epd_reset = board.D5
epd_busy = board.D6
display_bus = fourwire.FourWire(
spi, command=epd_dc, chip_select=epd_cs, reset=epd_reset, baudrate=1000000
)
time.sleep(1)
display = adafruit_ssd1681.SSD1681(
display_bus, width=200, height=200, busy_pin=epd_busy, rotation=180
)
g = displayio.Group()
pic = displayio.OnDiskBitmap("/display-ruler.bmp")
t = displayio.TileGrid(pic, pixel_shader=pic.pixel_shader)
g.append(t)
display.root_group = g
display.refresh()
print("refreshed")
time.sleep(120)
