I have been searching for an e-ink stock ticker, and I think that this is the only one that stands out, it would be really nice if you would add support because a lot of people come from the pwnagotchi project, and having a pi0 with a waveshare screen unused for months. This seems like a really cool project and I hope that you will add support.

Thanks for the kind words!

A quick look at some sample code for a similar model (the v3) suggests it might be broadly compatible, though I can't seem to find any retailers with stock so I wouldn't be able to verify it.

If you're interesting in hacking away at it yourself, I think the only thing you'd need to change is the display method here. That's where the drawn image is written to the InkyPHAT screen.

I suspect if you replaced that with the equivalent code from the example I listed above, it might work without any other changes (other than the installation steps for the waveshare device). Note: I haven't tried installing any of this stuff for a while so you might run into some unrelated problems.

I'd be happy to beta test if you plan to support the 2.7 waveshare e ink display
