rpi-gpio-epaper

Control e-paper modules on the Raspberry Pi GPIO with Node.js

This code has been tested with the Waveshare 1.54inch but should be adaptable for other sizes.

Coming soon...

Usage

Dependencies

This library uses rpi-gpio.js and node-spi. The former depends on epoll which currently only builds on Linux systems. I develop with Node and Vim on the Raspberry Pi itself.

Sources

This code is based on the Waveshare python demo which provides a handy installation guide:
