E-Paper Micropython Implementation

This repository contains the code for implementing E-Paper display using Micropython. The code is written for the Waveshare E-Ink 3.7 Inch Display using a Raspberry Pi Pico W board and uses the self-implemented E-Paper module for displaying the content.

Dependencies

The following dependencies are required to run the code:

Installation

  1. Download and install Micropython firmware on your ESP32 board.

  2. Install the dependencies by running the following commands:

    $ ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 put picozero.py

  3. Clone this repository:

    $ git clone <https://github.com/rohit1901/e-paper.git>

  4. Upload the code to your ESP32 board:

    $ ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 put main.py

Usage

  1. Follow the Raspberry Pi Pico W Official Guide https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/get-started-pico-w
  2. Connect the ESP32 board to your computer using Thonny IDE.
  3. Update the SSID and PASSWORD in lib/constants.py
  4. The code should automatically run on connecting the Pico W to a power source.
