# eink-waveshare-rs
This library contains a driver for the [4.2 Inch E-Paper Module](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4.2inch_e-Paper_Module) from Waveshare.
IN WORK! Drivers for various EPDs from Waveshare.
Support for more (especially the smaller and faster ones) should follow after the library around the 4.2" EInk is stable and tested enough.
Currently only support for the 4.2 Black/White one
## (Supported) Devices
Be careful with the partial updates!
It was only tested in a mBED implementation, the rust one wasn't tested enough yet!!!
| Device | Colors | Partial Refresh | Supported | Tested |
| :---: | --- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| 4.2 Inch B/W | Black, White | Not officially [[1](#42-inch-e-ink-blackwhite)] | ✔ | ✔ |
| 1.54 Inch B/W | Black, White | ✔ | | |
| 2.13 Inch B/W | Black, White | ✔ | | |
| 2.9 Inch B/W | Black, White | ✔ | | |
### 4.2 Inch E-Ink Black/White
Out of the Box the original driver from Waveshare only supports full updates.
- [1]: Be careful with the quick refresh updates: <br>
It's possible with this driver but might lead to ghosting / burn-in effects therefore it's hidden behind a feature.
### Interface
| Interface | Description |
| :---: | :--- |
| VCC | 3.3V |
| GND | GND |
| DIN | SPI MOSI |
| CLK | SPI SCK |
| CS | SPI chip select (Low active) |
| DC | Data/Command control pin (High for data, and low for command) |
| RST | External reset pin (Low for reset) |
| BUSY | Busy state output pin (Low for busy) |
## TODO's
- [ ] add more example (e.g. for f3)
- [ ] add more examples (e.g. for f3)
- [ ] improve the partial drawing/check the timings/timing improvements/....
- [ ] for later: add support for the smaller waveshare epds
- [ ] License: Stay with ISC (=MIT) or go to Apache+MIT Dual Version as used in many other projects?

## Graphics/Drawing
@ -31,18 +55,10 @@ Chars and Strings work with a 8x8-Font.
Support for bigger sized/independent Fonts is in work.
## Examples
### With a Buffer
- Chars, Strings and filled circles are still missing
- maybe work with traits here for line_drawing and so on?
### Without a Buffer
Maybe add support for Non-Buffer drawing from the https://crates.io/crates/embedded-graphics Crate later on.
There is an example for Raspberry Pi in the example folder.
