Hello, I am kinda loss, I have bought the 4.7 lilygo epaper board and trying to install micropython.

First question which version should I choose 4,7 Plus or 4,7 normal (i have the battery version)

So far I have built the image bin and now what should i do with it ?

Any guide to walk a newbie to help me integrate micropython ?

Thanks

You should use 4,7 normal, its microprocessor is esp32, 4.7 plus's microprocessor is esp32s3.

For burning the image, you should refer to the esp32 burning method of micropython.

You can find your built image at this path:

lilygo-micropython\bin\esp32\LILYGO_T5-4.7

Or use our precompiled images:

This is the api documentation for epd.

This is framebuf1, which is specially tailored for 4.7

Amazing thank you for the quick answer !!

I manage to complete and install it, now fun begins !

I am on MacOs so for the next user I followed this guide using esptool instead of windows tool to update the firmware work like a charm. https://pythonforundergradengineers.com/how-to-install-micropython-on-an-esp32.html

For the ssh serial monitor you can use screens instead of putty.
