I created a wiki for you to set up the project, please follow it and let me know if you have any issues.

Run python3 dashboard.py to start it. You will need PIL/Pillow for it to run, install it via pip install Pillow.

This code is made for 7.5 inch Version 2 display, if you are using another type of display please consult the documentation and adjust accordingly.

Go to this website for the e-ink display documentation of how to set it up and get it to work on your raspberry pi: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7.5inch_e-Paper_HAT

I used a Raspberry Pi Zero W for this project however it should work fine on any other Pi as long as it has GPIO headers.

This is my first project on Github, I'm still learning all its intricasies, if something is missing please let me know.

Still learning Python and squashing bugs as I progress, there is probably redundancies in the code so be gentle with it =)

Have fun with it and do something awesome!
