Support for Pimoroni Inky pHat #41

Closed alemarengo closed 1 year ago

txoof commented 2 years ago

@alemarengo I'd love to integrate support for the Inky!

I don't have access to any Inky pHats, but I do have a pretty good idea how to move forward with this. Would you be willing to work with me in developing a solution? This would involve some refactoring of the underlying epdlib, but it was built with modularity in mind, so it should be fairly straightforward.

The InkyPhat library looks pretty easy to use and would make it possible to add color images to PaperPi.

Edit: looking at the inky python library, this should be super easy to integrate to epdlib for at least grayscale support. The harder part is updating PaperPi as the configuration will need to be tweaked to handle multiple types of screens.

Hey @alemarengo, do you have some time to test the EPDLib changes to verify that the pHats are working as expected?
