CircuitPython displayio driver for SSD1608-based ePaper displays
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1608To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1608To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name python3 -m venv .env source .env/bin/activate pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1608"""Simple test script for 1.54" 200x200 monochrome display.
