Set up and test the display

Update display software

$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/AxelHamburch/e-Paper/
$ cd ~/e-Paper/RaspberryPi*/python
$ sudo python3 setup.py install

Info: Normally cloning is done from the current Waveshare repository https://github.com/waveshare/e-Paper, but the new version currently still has problems with the recommended ATM configuration. Therefore, an older backup of "AxelHamburch" is recommended here for the time being.

Testing the display

Note: This is special for the "Waveshare 2in13 V2". Yours may be different, check your version carefully!

$ cd ~/e-Paper/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python/examples
$ sudo python3 ./epd_2in13_V2_test.py

If everything has been correctly connected and installed, the display will now show a demonstration and finally the screen will cleare.

Help:If it dosn't work, try the D-Version (flexible): $ sudo python3 ./epd_2in13d_test.py. Another option is the display "Waveshare 2in13 V3", it is a new display. $ sudo python3 ./epd_2in13_V3_test.py. (Work is in progress to fully support the V3). If you have a display from waveshare not listed here, try to find the right display type in the waveshare repository.

Possible source of error

AttributeError: 'SpiDev' object has no attribute 'writebytes2'

Solution:

$ cd
$ sudo rm -r e-Paper
$ git clone https://github.com/AxelHamburch/e-Paper/
$ cd ~/e-Paper/RaspberryPi*/python
$ sudo python3 setup.py install
$ cd ~/e-Paper/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python/examples
$ sudo python3 ./epd_2in13d_test.py   # Change it to your version

Note: If it dose not work, check the wiring and your display version again.
