Hi, how can I modify your file to work with the 5in65f e ink display from waveshark?

You'll have to make a number of changes to the code. Since the 5.65" screen has a resolution of 600×448, start by changing the image output resolution in config.json, then amend render/styles.css to make sure the layout is formatted to your desire, finally the files in the display folder will likely need to be changed out since those are specific to the 12.48" panel. The link below will give you a good idea on how to interface with the 5.65" panel using Python.

There's certainly a fair bit of tinkering to be done but there's where the fun is! All the best!
