Use guide

There are two functions provided, one is send function and any is status function.

Sent function

  • int a(NfcA var1, int var2, Bitmap var3) ;
    • var1: NFC tag
    • var2:Type of the e-Paper (refer to the type table below)
    • var3: The BMP picture for updating.(refer to the picture table below)
  • Return
    • 1:Sent successfully
    • 0:Failed
