CircuitPython library for the JD79661 e-paper driver IC
Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_
or individual libraries can be installed using
`circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>`_.
`Purchase one from the Adafruit shop <http://www.adafruit.com/products/6373>`_
Installing from PyPI
=====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-jd79661/>`_.
To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-jd79661
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-jd79661
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-jd79661
Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup
==========================================================
Make sure that you have ``circup`` installed in your Python environment.
Install it with the following command if necessary:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install circup
With ``circup`` installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the
following command to install:
.. code-block:: shell
circup install adafruit_jd79661
Or the following command to update an existing version:
.. code-block:: shell
circup update
Usage Example
=============
.. code-block:: python
import time
import board
import displayio
from fourwire import FourWire
import adafruit_jd79661
displayio.release_displays()
spi = board.SPI()
epd_cs = board.D9
epd_dc = board.D10
epd_reset = board.D6
epd_busy = board.D5
display_bus = FourWire(spi, command=epd_dc, chip_select=epd_cs, reset=epd_reset, baudrate=1000000)
time.sleep(1)
display = adafruit_jd79661.JD79661(
display_bus,
width=250,
height=122,
busy_pin=epd_busy,
rotation=270,
colstart=0,
highlight_color=0x00FF00,
highlight_color2=0xFF0000,
)
g = displayio.Group()
pic = displayio.OnDiskBitmap("/display-ruler-640x360.bmp")
t = displayio.TileGrid(pic, pixel_shader=pic.pixel_shader)
g.append(t)
display.root_group = g
display.refresh()
print("refreshed")
time.sleep(display.time_to_refresh + 5)
# Always refresh a little longer. It's not a problem to refresh
# a few seconds more, but it's terrible to refresh too early
# (the display will throw an exception when if the refresh
# is too soon)
print("waited correct time")
# Keep the display the same
while True:
time.sleep(10)
