<pre>
 +
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
 +
wget  https://files.waveshare.com/upload/3/39/E-Paper_code.7z
 +
7z x E-Paper_code.7z -O./e-Paper
 +
cd e-Paper/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/
 +
</pre>
 +
*Downloading the program via GitHub (alternate method, you can skip it if you've already downloaded it).<br/>

Description of codes (API)

The libraries for Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano are the same. Examples contain three parts, hardware interface, EPD driver, and the GUI functions.

C

Hardware interface

Two libraries are used by C example, WiringPi, and BCM2835. The codes use wiringPi by default, if you want to use BCM2835, you can modify the RaspberryPi&JetsonNano\c\Makefile file, modify lines 13 and 14. Change it as below:
E-paper Driver HAT RPI Makefile.png
  • Data type
#define UBYTE   uint8_t
#define UWORD   uint16_t
#define UDOUBLE uint32_t
  • Init and Exit
void DEV_Module_Init(void);
void DEV_Module_Exit(void);
Note: The Init() and Exit() function are used to configure GPIOs . EPD enter sleep mode after Exit() function is used, and the consumption of e-Paper should be 0 in sleep mode if the PCB is Rev2.1 version.
  • GPIO Read/Write
void DEV_Digital_Write(UWORD Pin, UBYTE Value);
UBYTE DEV_Digital_Read(UWORD Pin);
  • SPI transmit data
void DEV_SPI_WriteByte(UBYTE Value);

EPD

e-paper driver code file, in the directory: RaspberryPi_JetsonNano\c\lib\e-Paper.
As shown below:
Epd-1.02inch.png
Open .h to see the following functions.

  • After the initialization, called when the screen starts working and after exiting sleep mode.
//1.54inch e-Paper, 1.54inch e-Paper V2, 2.13inch e-Paper, 2.13inch e-Paper V2, 2.13inch e-Paper (D), 2.9inch e-Paper, 2.9inch e-Paper (D )
void EPD_xxx_Init(UBYTE Mode); // Mode = 0 global refresh initialization, Mode = 1 local refresh initialization
//other models
void EPD_xxx_Init(void);

Where xxx represents the model. If it is 2.13D, the full screen initialization is EPD_2IN13D_Init(0), the partial refresh initialization EPD_2IN13D_Init(1); if it is 1.54 V2, then EPD_1IN54_V2_Init(); if it is 7.5B, it is EPD_7IN5BC_Init(), because 7.5B and 7.5C are common The driver code, but the color displayed is different.

  • Clear the screen, brush the ink screen to white
void EPD_xxx_Clear(void);

Where xxx represents the ink screen model. If it is 2.13D, then it is EPD_2IN9D_Clear(); if it is 7.5B, it is EPD_7IN5_Clear(), because 7.5B and 7.5C share the driver code, but the color displayed is different.

  • Transfer a frame of picture data and open the display.
//Black and white two-color ink screen
void EPD_xxx_Display(UBYTE *Image);
//Black and white red or black and white yellow ink screen
void EPD_xxx_Display(const UBYTE *blackimage, const UBYTE *ryimage);

Note that the following are special cases:

//For 2.13inch e-paper (D), 2.9inch e-paper (D) two flexible screens, partial refresh
void EPD_2IN13D_DisplayPart(UBYTE *Image);
void EPD_2IN9D_DisplayPart(UBYTE *Image);

//For 1.54inch e-paper V2 and 2.13inch e-paper V2, due to the upgrade of the control chip, for a partial refresh, it is necessary to call EPD_xxx_DisplayPartBaseImage to display the static background image, that is, to perform partial refresh based on this image, and then call the dynamic EPD_xxx_DisplayPart ()

void EPD_1IN54_V2_DisplayPartBaseImage(UBYTE *Image);
void EPD_1IN54_V2_DisplayPart(UBYTE *Image);
void EPD_2IN13_V2_DisplayPart(UBYTE *Image);
void EPD_2IN13_V2_DisplayPartBaseImage(UBYTE *Image);
  • Enter sleep mode
void EPD_xxx_Sleep(void);

Note that after entering sleep mode, there are only two ways to work again: the first is a hardware reset, and the second is to call the initialization function again.
Where xxx represents the ink screen model. If it is 2.13D, then it is EPD_2IN13D_Sleep(); if it is 7.5B, it is EPD_7IN5BC_Sleep(), because 7.5B and 7.5C share the driver code, but the color displayed is different.

Testing Code

Test code.png

The first three chapters introduce the classic linux three-layer code structure, here is a little explanation of the user test code
For Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano, in the directory: RaspberryPi_JetsonNano\c\examples, for all test codes, multiple shields can be made in main.c in this directory;
If you need to run the 7.5inch e-paper test program, you need to remove the 42 line shield

// EPD_7in5_test();

change to

EPD_7in5_test();

Re-execute in linux command mode as follows:

make clean
make
sudo ./epd

Python

For Jetson Nano\Raspberry Pi, based on python2.7 and python3
python is easy to use than c codes

Bottom Interface

The epdconfig.py file in the underlying interface

  • Initialize module and exit handle:
def module_init()
def module_exit()

Note:
1. The functions are used to set GPIP before and after driving e-Paper
2. If the board you have is printed with Rev2.1, the module enter low-ultra mode after Module_Exit(). (as we test, the current is about 0 in this mode);

  • GPIO Read/Write:
def  digital_write(pin, value)
def  digital_read(pin)
  • SPI Write data:
def spi_writebyte(data)

Driver Interface

epdxxx.py (xxx means size, if it is 2.13inch e-paper, it is epd2in13.py, and so on)

  • Initialize e-paper: this function should be used at the beginning. It can also be used to wake up e-Paper from Sleep mode.
#For 2.13inch e-Paper、2.9inch e-Paper
def init(self, update) #  Choose lut_full_update or lut_partial_update
#Other type
def init(self)
  • Clear e-paper: This function is used to clear e-Paper to white;
def Clear(self)
def Clear(self, color) # Some types of e-Paper should use this function to clear screen
  • Convert image to arrays
def getbuffer(self, image)
  • Transmit one frame of image data and display
#For two-color e-paper
def display(self, image)

#Because that controllers of 2.13inch e-paper are updated, when partial refresh, they should first use displayPartBaseImage() to display static background, then use displayPart() to dynamaticlly display.
def displayPartBaseImage(self, image)
def displayPart(self, image)
  • Enter sleep mode
def sleep(self)

Testing Function

epd_xxx_test.py (xxx means size, if it is 2.13inch e-paper, it is epd_2in13_test.py, and so on)
python is in the following directory:
Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano: RaspberryPi_JetsonNano\python\examples\
Epd-test-function.png
If your python version is python2, and you need to run the 7.5inch e-paper test program, re-execute it in the linux command mode as follows:

sudo python epd_7in5_test.py

If your python version is python3, and you need to run the 7.5inch e-paper test program, re-execute it in the linux command mode as follows:

sudo python3 epd_7in5_test.py

Orientation

To rotate the display, you can use transpose function like blackimage = blackimage.transpose(Image.ROTATE_270):

blackimage = blackimage.transpose(Image.ROTATE_270) 
redimage = redimage.transpose(Image.ROTATE_270)
#Support ROTATE_90, ROTATE_180, ROTATE_270

GUI

Python has a powerful PIL library, which can be used directly to draw figures. Here we use it for drawing.

  • Install the library firstly
sudo apt-get install python3-pil 

Import the library

from PIL import Image,ImageDraw,ImageFont

Image: library; ImageDraw: drawing function; ImageFont: fonts

  • Set image buffer for drawing.
image = Image.new('1', (epd.width, epd.height), 255)  # 255: clear the frame

The first parameter is the depth of color, 1 means 2 grayscale. The second parameter is a tuple of image size. The third parameter is the color of the image, 0 is black and 255 is white.

  • Create an image object.
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
  • Draw rectangle
draw.rectangle((0, 10, 200, 34), fill = 0)

The first parameter is a tuple of coordination. 0, 10 is the top-left point of the rectangle, 200, 34) is the right-bottom point. fille = 0 set the fill color to black.

  • Draw line
draw.line((16, 60, 56, 60), fill = 0)

The first parameter is a type of coordination, 16, 60 is the beginning point, and 200, 34 is the endpoint. fill=0 set the line to black

  • Draw circle
draw.arc((90, 60, 150, 120), 0, 360, fill = 0)

This function is used to draw a encircle of a square. The first parameter is a tuple of coordination of the square. the degree of the circle is 0 to 360 °, fille=0 set the circle to black.
If the figure is not square according to the coordination, you will get an ellipse.

Besides the arc function, you can also use the chord function for drawing a solid circle.

draw.chord((90, 130, 150, 190), 0, 360, fill = 0)

The first parameter is the coordination of the enclosing rectangle. The second and third parameters are the beginning and end degrees of the circle. The fourth parameter is the fill color of the circle.

  • Character

You can directly import ImageFont model for drawing characters:

font = ImageFont.truetype(os.path.join(picdir, 'Font.ttc'), 24)

You can use the fonts of Windows or other fonts which is in ttc format.

To draw English characters, you can directly use the fonts; for Chinese characters, you need to add a symbol u:

draw.text((8, 12), 'hello world', font = font, fill = 255)
draw.text((8, 36), u'微雪电子', font = font, fill = 0)

The first parameter is a tuple of 2 elements, with (8, 12) as the left vertex, fill is the font color, and the first sentence fill=255, so it seems that it will not be displayed. The second sentence shows 微雪电子.

  • Read local picture
image = Image.open(os.path.join(picdir, 'lin54.bmp'))

The parameter is the path of picture.

  • Other functions.

For more information about the PIL library, you can search online.
