WaveShare e-paper module (epd1in54). Monochrome version

e-Paper Module

Description

Waveshare 1.54 e-paper module imported from offiicial code https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/1.54inch_e-Paper_Module Codes are referenced from official Arduino code and Raspberry pi code.

SPI is used for communication between ePaper module and mbed.

Following shapes can be used:

  • primitive shape (square, circle, line)
  • font (variable sizes)

Pull request are appreciated (Note that the original code is copyrighted by (C) Waveshare )

Example Output

Display output with example code will be like following image:

Example Code

include the mbed library with this snippet
