Other East Rising EPD displays? #2

Can you adapt this to work with the ER-EPD0371R-5103? I would greatly appreciate it, there is almost zero information on these displays and I'm not a programmer. Thanks!

@jeffcostantino I don't have one of those devices (I can't locate anything with that name online either). This library really is intended for programmers so you may not be the target audience. It is difficult to support any device without having one to test with. If you intend to try and support that display you also need to locate information about the controller board it's connected too.

My current goal is to move to portable (python) libraries so the display can be used on multiple devices and not be stuck with specific chipsets. I'm not there yet (it still requires Raspbian and a bcm chip today) but it is close :-). Sadly I've not had the time needed to progress this recently :-(

Marking as won't fix for now. If anyone wants to contribute code, I'm open to that but I won't be able to test/verify.

I appreciate it though, this board has been such a pain to do anything with outside of the example code that just shows some sample pictures.

Had I known that these Eastrising boards were so unsupported, I would have just gone with a Waveshare. I should have done my research on the software prior, the price was too tempting I guess.

Hi @jeffcostantino thanks for the link, I took a quick look. Code looks REALLY similar. It would be possible to review the C code in the sample and compare with this and make a driver which would be relatively straightforward.

I personally have no time, nor a way of testing this but someone with an afternoon (possibly less) who is suitable motivated could get this done.
