Hi there

Great project - thanks for sharing. Just checking of there are any plans to support the HD versions of the Waveshare ePaper screens like this one: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1/7.8inch-e-paper-hat.htm - 1872x1404 would produce the space and resolution to have some wonderful content.

Thanks again

The support for that display is dependent on the GxEPD2 library and until he gets a display support won’t be provided, sorry.

Thanks for the quick reply - I do see that in release 1.2.14 of the driver added support for the 6" 1448x1072 ED060KC1 on Waveshare e-Paper IT8951 Driver HAT. Would your application drive that display? Thank you

Yes the application will support that screen size, albeit the display area is significantly larger and so would need to be either re-sized or the layout changed to accommodate the extra space.
