Basic Inky Impression Support #13

Closed blockarchitech closed 2 years ago

blockarchitech commented 2 years ago

This PR adds:

This has been tested, and works properly on a Raspberry Pi 4 4G + Inky Impression 5.7"

Currently, due to some issues with the Inky Library (which I have yet to find a way around), this is only grayscale. However, it doesn't really matter because it still looks awesome.

The only issue, is that on some Inky Impression displays, color is laid out like this:

0: BLACK 1: WHITE

And others:

0: WHITE 1: BLACK

So, in the script user may have to change WHITE to BLACK and vice versa.

I've found that the majority is the 1st color set, so it shouldn't matter to most people.

This is great, thanks for the support on this!

Do you have any pictures that could be included of how the output looks on an Impression?

I originally made the icons 110x110 pixels in size, so it might look smaller here. If need be, new icons can be made that are adjusted to the Impression.

Yeah! I can give you one when I'm available.

Sounds good, I'll merge this in the meantime.
