Very fragile, not enough software

The display is very fragile and when it's fastened like a hat there's nothing to hold on to. I shattered the glass trying to press it against the board. The data sheet says the controller supports 4 colors and 64 shades of brightness for each color, but the code attached doesn't provide any examples of this, only black and white. I'm not sure if the display itself supports multicolor or not. Other panels using this controller support white, yellow, blue and black. The datasheet also mentions other features that don't have examples in the software, such as "Dark Mode" and "Low Power Mode". It would be nice to have examples of them. Overall, this is a good little display.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • It's hard to remember but it was
