Wrong driver for waveshare e-ink displays

SO5HMI commented 5 months ago

The problem

esp32: board: esp32dev framework: type: arduino

pi: clk_pin: 13 mosi_pin: 14

display:

platform: waveshare_epaper id: eink cs_pin: 15 dc_pin: 27 busy_pin: 25 reset_pin: 26 model: 4.2in update_interval: 10s lambda: |- it.print(0, 0, id(font1), "Hello World!");

I use original waveshare esp32 e-ink driver board with no other sensors connected

In this config the display doesnt change, but if i change the model to different i see Hello World but in the corner and the not used part of the display has w/b random noise.

working display models: 1.54in - display is changing but, screen is black 1.54inv2 - works part of display according to resolution 2.90in- display is changing but, screen is black 2.90inv2 - works part of display according to resolution 4.2in - not working 4.2in-bv2 - not working 5.83in - not working 5.83inv2 - not working 7.50in - not working 7.50in-bV2 - not working 7.50inV2 - not working

i used this display a half year a go and its working great.

Hey @SO5HMI see also #5369. I've got a PR that seems to fix the issue for my device. Would be keen to have more people test it.

SO5HMI commented 4 months ago

Hi @MrMDavidson, thank you. I have tried this solution and ... didn't work for me. Screen is living — the refreshing (fill rectangle is working), but i don't get any next lambda drawings. The screen is black.

Can you paste your config?

SO5HMI commented 4 months ago

Yes, this is my config. I try to run display, there is no other code except beginning (board, wifi etc.)

Ah, I'm not seeing any page change code. In my setup I'm navigating through the pages in response to a button press with display.page.show_next. if you don't have a physical button you could use a timer or something. Alternatively try just getting rid of the first 3 pages; they're just there to force some cleanup of the display.

I'm just going to poke this issue to unStale it, because I'm definitely having trouble with the esp32 Driver Board and the 4.2 display (I think I have the version 1: WFT0420CZ15)

I'm not getting any update on the display with the current waveshare epaper platform:

spi:
  id: epaper_spi
  clk_pin: 13
  mosi_pin: 14
  miso_pin: 19

display:
  - platform: waveshare_epaper
    spi_id: epaper_spi
    cs_pin: 15
    dc_pin: 27
    busy_pin: 25
    reset_pin: 26
    model: 4.20in
    update_interval: 30s
    lambda: |-
      it.print(0, 0, id(font1), "Hello World!");
