Support for EPD7in5v_v2 #94

Closed TheGreyDiamond closed 2 years ago

Hi, I recently discovered PaperTTY and it looks great. However, I cannot find a driver that works with my display. I verified that my display works in this setup using the Waveshare Python demos. I used the demo for EPD7in5b_V2. Sadly there is no driver for that combo yet. I tried EPD_7in5b and EPD_7in5V2, though both yielded, "interesting" results. Sometimes not showing anything at all or just fills half of the screen with red. At least the red looks good... So to recap I have a Waveshare 7.5-inch TriColor (white-black-red) V2 E-Ink. Is there any way that will be supported soon? I will look into the whole driver thing soon, but I wondered if anyone else might have already done this....

I'm trying to do this in PR #95

Thanks for the PR!

For adding driver support, contributions like these are the only way to go really, since there's always new models around and I only have a few older ones so I couldn't test the operation anyway.

Well the PR closed this!
