Epaper-Display

How to use

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3-wheel python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-psutil

git clone https://github.com/467815891a/Epaper-Display.git && cd Epaper-Display && sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Then you can test the script by using python3 main.py

And I also have a epaper.service file for systemd, you can change the script path in the epaper.service and enable the service by using

sudo cp epaper.service /etc/systemd/system && sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable epaper.service
