-
With full Graphics and Text support using Adafruit_GFX
-
For SPI e-paper displays from Dalian Good Display
-
and SPI e-paper boards from Waveshare
- the display panels are for 3.3V supply and 3.3V data lines
- never connect data lines directly to 5V Arduino data pins, use e.g. 4k7/10k resistor divider
- series resistor only is not enough for reliable operation (back-feed effect through protection diodes)
- 4k7/10k resistor divider may not work with flat cable extensions or Waveshare 4.2 board, use level converter then
- do not forget to connect GND
- the actual Waveshare display boards now have level converters and series regulator, safe for 5V
- use 3k3 pull-down on SS for ESP8266 for boards with level converters
- note that 7.5" e-paper displays don't work reliable if fed from 3.3V Arduino pin
- note that Waveshare boards with "clever" reset circuit may need shortened reset pulse
- use
init(115200, true, 2, false)for Waveshare boards with "clever" reset circuit - note that Waveshare boards with "clever" reset circuit need 1k pull-up on RST on ESP8266, or different pin
- note that the new Waveshare Universal e-Paper Raw Panel Driver HAT Rev 2.3 needs PWR connected to VCC or driven HIGH
- see https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/E-Paper_Driver_HAT
- This library uses paged drawing to limit RAM use and cope with missing single pixel update support
- buffer size can be selected in the application by template parameter page_height, see GxEPD2_Example
- Paged drawing is implemented as picture loop, like in U8G2 (Oliver Kraus)
- see https://github.com/olikraus/u8glib/wiki/tpictureloop
- Paged drawing is also available using drawPaged() and drawCallback(), like in GxEPD
// GxEPD style paged drawing; drawCallback() is called as many times as neededvoid drawPaged(void (*drawCallback)(const void*), const void* pv)- paged drawing is done using Adafruit_GFX methods inside picture loop or drawCallback
- full screen buffer is selected by setting template parameter page_height to display height
- drawing to full screen buffer is done using Adafruit_GFX methods without picture loop or drawCallback
- and then calling method display()
- bitmap drawing support to the controller memory and screen is available:
- either through the template class instance methods that forward calls to the base display class
- or directly using an instance of a base display class and calling its methods directly

- GxEPD2 uses Adafruit_GFX for Graphics and Text support, which is well documented there
- GxEPD2 uses meaningful method names, and has some comments in the header files
- consult the header files GxEPD2_BW.h, GxEPD2_3C.h and GxEPD2_GFX.h

- tested with Waveshare Epaper ESP32 Driver Board mounted on connection board
- tested with Arduino UNO mounted on connection board, is extremely slow
- doesn't work with Arduino MEGA on connection board with switch set to ICSP and pins bent out of way, reason unknown
- not tested with other processors
- caution: wiring connector is on 5V side of level converters!

- added support for GDEW075T7 7.5" b/w 800x480
- GDEW075T7 has differential update (1.6s) using a charge balancing waveform
- added optional SW SPI support, see /extras/sw_spi/README
- added /extras/tests/GxEPD2_RefreshTests/GxEPD2_RefreshTests.ino, for waveform tuning
- minor fixes
- note that 7.5" e-paper displays don't work reliable if fed from 3.3V Arduino pin
- added "fast partial update" (differential update) for GDEW0371W7 3.7" b/w 240x416

- fixed init code & improved differential update for GDEW042T2 4.2" b/w 300x400
- note that all differential refresh waveforms are a compromise (ghosting, big font use)
- parameters for differential waveform for these display can easily be changed for experimenting
- GDEW042T2 would have greyed background without sustain phase
- GDEW042T2 needs multiple full refreshes after extended use of partial updates
- added support for GDEH0213B73 2.13" b/w, replacement for GDE0213B1, GDEH0213B72

- changed 4.2" b/w waveform table, for better result with actual panels
- note for ESP8266 when using SS for CS: (wiring suggestion)
- connect 4.7k pull-down from GPIO15 to GND if your board or shield has level converters
- fixes for large displays (use uint16_t for buffer index)
- fix for incomplete download in GxEPD2_WiFi_Example
- added missing method displayWindow() to GxEPD2_GFX base class
- fix and clean up of initial refresh for panels with differential update
- initial refresh needs to be full update, not "fast partial update", for these panels,
- as the screen content may differ from the "previous buffer" content.
- add clean of controller buffer(s) on initial write to controller, for partial update.
- enhanced support for full buffered, non-paged use, for processors with enough RAM
- use void display(bool partial_update_mode = false); corresponds to update() in GxEPD
- use added void displayWindow(uint16_t x, uint16_t y, uint16_t w, uint16_t h);
- use added writeImagePart(...), drawImagePart(...), used by displayWindow()
- added example GxEPD2_NotPagedExample.ino
- several fixes, e.g. parameter range check in setPartialWindow()
- added support for GDEH0213B72 2.13" b/w, replacement for GDE0213B1
- changed SPI speed for IT8951 Driver HAT to 24MHz for write, 10MHz for read
- minor fixes, e.g. centering of text bounding box in GxEPD2_Example
- added support for 6" ED060SCT on Waveshare e-Paper IT8951 Driver HAT
- uses 3.3V data lines, but 5V supply (~80mA active, ~20mA stand-by, sleep doesn't work)
- note: 5V supply needs to be exact and strong; 5V over diode from USB (e.g. Wemos D1 mini) doesn't work!
- note that the IT8951 Driver HAT is panel specific, with flash parameterized by supplier
- this is an initial version
- added GxEPD2_WS_ESP32_Driver example for Waveshare ESP32 Driver Board
- eliminated double refresh for "fast partial update"
- moved wavetables to the driver classes
- added one explicit drawImage(...) and writeImage(...) method (for removed default paramter values for 1.1.3)
- added init method with added parameter initial, for re-init after processor deep sleep wakeup
- added init parameter pulldown_rst_mode, for special RST handling (not needed for waveshare shield)
- fixed wavetables for GDEW029T5 and GDEW0213I5F
- fixed drawImage(...) overloaded methods signature matching ambiguity
- added support for GDEW029T5
- fixed (added) clipping for partial window
- fixed (added) powerOff() after full update (partial update keeps power on)
- added hibernate() for minimum power use by displays that support it
- 2.7" b/w GDEW027W3 with fast partial update support, based on new demo code wavetable
- mapping suggestion added for Arduino MEGA
- NOTE: use voltage divider resistors for 5V Arduinos, series resistor is not reliable enough
- ConnectingHardware.md updated
- added support for GDEW0213I5F for 2.13" b/w 104x212 flexible display
- updated GxEPD2_WiFi_Example and GxEPD2_Spiffs_Loader to use BearSSL on ESP8266, for large bitmap downloads
- add GxEPD2_U8G2_Fonts_Example, e.g. for use of Umlauts ÄÖÜäéöü
- NOTE: you need to SAVE the modified example to a saveable location for UTF-8 characters to work
- add GxEPD2_SD_AVR_boards_added.h to GxEPD2_SD_AVR_Example
- with example definitions for non-AVR boards (low level display class use example)
- add GxEPD2_boards_added.h to GxEPD2_Example
- with example definitions for Arduino DUE and MKR1000
- add buffered drawing option to GxEPD2_WiFi_Example
- allows use with 1.54" 3-color 200x200 display, may also be useful for small bitmaps
- add buffered drawing option to GxEPD2_SD_Example and GxEPD2_Spiffs_Example
- allows use with 1.54" 3-color 200x200 display, may also be useful for small bitmaps
- add GxEPD2_GFX base class support (optional, selectable, uses slightly more code)
- base class GxEPD2_GFX can be used to pass references or pointers to the display instance as parameter
- add GxEPD2_GFX_MultiDisplayExample, uses GxEPD2_GFX reference parameter
- modify GxEPD2_MultiDisplayExample for ESP8266 (template issue: class expected instead of typename)

- 1.54" 3-color GxEPD2_154c can be used with paging for AVR
- wave tables in program space, 4.2" b/w can be used with GxEPD2_SD_AVR_Example
- issues enabled and welcome, please use Forum Topic for enhancement suggestions
- pre-release test version
- GxEPD2_SD_AVR_Example added, has no graphics buffer to reduce RAM usage (base display class use)
- issues disabled so far, use Arduino Forum Topics instead
- in this version 1.54" 3-color GxEPD2_154c can only be used with full size buffer (or with no buffer base display class)
- preliminary version, under construction
