If you have the ESP8266 e-Paper Driver board as well as an e-Paper raw panel. You can just connect the e-paper panel to the ESP8266 board

Configure the switch according to the type of display

Trigger state	e-Paper
A	1.54inch e-Paper, 2.13inch e-Paper, 2.13inch e-Paper (D), 2.9inch e-Paper
B	1.54inch e-Paper (B), 1.54inch e-Paper (C) 2.13inch e-Paper (B), 2.13inch e-Paper (C) 2.7inch e-Paper (B) 2.9inch e-Paper (C), 2.9inch e-Paper (B) 4.2inch e-Paper (B), 4.2inch e-Paper (C) 5.83inch e-Paper (B), 5.83inch e-Paper (C) 7.5inch e-Paper (B), 7.5inch e-Paper (C), 7.5inch HD e-Paper, 7.5inch HD e-Paper (B)

Note: The ACeP e-Paper doesn't support this connecting method.

If you have the ESP8266 Board as well as the e-Paper module/HAT which has PCB already, you can wire the displays by 8-pin cable pin

Open the Arduino IDE
Choose File->Examples-> waveshae-e-Paper -> And the project according to the type of display

Build and program the ESP8266 board
Open the serial monitor, you can check the debug information when running the demo codes
