I've installed Paperpi but when checking the log get an could not load epd module epd7in3f -- error: unrecongized waveshare module: epd7in3f error

I have this in the config file

CONFIG_VERSION=1.1

[main]

waveshare display type use HD for IT8951 displays

display_type = epd7in3f

I'll take a look into this.

Can you post your entire config file or at least the [main] section? That will help rule out problems.

ypanle commented 1 year ago

yeah sure the main config is below

CONFIG_VERSION=1.1
[main]
#waveshare display type use HD for IT8951 displays
display_type = epd7in3f
#required vcom value for IT8951 screens
vcom = 0.0
#maximum refresh between total screen clear for HD displays
max_refresh = 4
#logging output level
log_level = WARNING
#display splash screen (True or False)
splash = True
#rotation of EPD display 
#(cable bottom: 0; cable left: -90; cable right: 90; cable top: 180)
rotation = 0
#mirror screen outuput - useful if output to screen appears backwards
mirror = False
#Enable RGB color support for 7-color screens (Default: True)
#This setting only affects 7 color screens and does not impact bi-color screens
#color = False

Config looks good. I think I found the problem - the waveshare libraries were out of sync between the development and main branches.

I have a version here that should work /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/txoof/PaperPi/main/install/remote_install_development.sh)"

Would you mind testing it before I push it to the main branch?

ypanle commented 1 year ago

That seems to be working!

txoof commented 1 year ago

Fantastic! I'll merge it into the main branch shortly

txoof commented 1 year ago

Merged and ready to go if you want to install from the main branch. Thanks for catching this.
