Resolution Electronic Controller Interface Raspberry Review

Very easy to get started. I don't use standard Linux on my Pi3s. I rolled my own with Yocto but this hat from ePaper was very easy to use. Within an hour I had the bcm2835 library and WaveShare C demo code up and running and showing the current values of my solar system in the barn. I will definitely buy more of these.

Always wanted an excuse to buy it. Finally figured something out with Raspberry Pi Zero W. And it's just damn cool! They have a really nice and well-documented git repo. I was able to quickly run their test code using Python. It's great that they have example code for C too. That's great because I'd love to play around with C someday. I'm new to electronics and pip but thanks to their documentation it was so easy to set up! I don't usually write reviews, but I've just had the pleasure of…

Device does not work via Arduino (with Waveshare Shield protection) or on RPi, using own Waveshare readme and git project only enforces screen cycle solid or blank with C APIs. I'm really upset that it didn't work, I was looking forward to a good e-paper ad. Edit: I found that the device actually works with python bindings. So while only 1/3 of the demos work correctly for this, I can at least rule out that the hardware is bad. 3/5 stars.

This display is good and the code sample was enough to get me up and running fairly quickly. But with Raspberry Pi Zero W, it takes about 35 seconds. to refresh the screen. 30 to push the image onto it, then about 5 to actually refresh, at which point it flashes in reverse video for a moment. I wouldn't recommend this for something live or constantly updated. Support told me it should be faster from 3B+, but I haven't tested it.

The product failed after 3-5 hours of use. Gray noise appears on the screen and the display stops responding to commands. I contacted the support team, they replied, so the support works quite well (no longer than a week to wait for an answer to each email :)). After a very long email communication it turned out that the GxEPD driver was not properly hibernating the display. But to be honest, I'm not entirely sure if this is the true cause of the display death. I just can't test it because I…
