I'm having a hard time getting a 2.9" display working. When run from a sample program in Thonny file "Pico_ePaper-2.9", the display works perfectly fine. However, setting model in esphome to 2.90in, 2.90inv2, or 2.90in-b don't seem to work. 2.90in-b (I assumed black and white because it is black and white) results in "Timeout while displaying image". 2.90inv2 results in flashing pixelated screen in random patterns, yet no error. I would have thought this was the correct model, given it's rev2. Using the 2.90in model does nothing and throws no errors at all. I feel like the issue is with Waveshare labelling their models so irregularly...and then having tons of different configurations. Perhaps my 2.9" isn't one of those listed?
First time I've ever posted on here, so hope this makes sense and could benefit others if a resolution is found.
