SSD1680 for RaspberryPi

This code is made to drive an ePaper Display from a Raspberry Pi with Python. This is independent of MicroPython/CircuitPython and only uses a small set of dependencies.

Code is semiported from the Arduino library GxEPD2

Only Tested with a WeAct Studio 2.13" three-color e-paper display, but it should be extendable to other displays that use the same SSD1680 controller

Dependencies:

  • numpy
  • spidev
  • RPi.GPIO
  • bdfparser
  • Pillow (only for a LocalRender test/debug)

Current capabilities:

Currently it can draw:

  • Geometric figures (only with a 1 pixel wide line)
    • Point
    • Line
    • Rectangle
    • Circle
  • Text Rendering (with any bdf font)
  • Bitmaps

What doesn't work

Compared to the Arduino libraries

  • Partial draw/refresh
