Prerequisites

To run this script, you will need the following:

1. Python 3.6 or above
2. epd7in3f library
3. Pillow Library - pip install pillow
4. Bitmap (.bmp) images

Make sure that the images you want to display and the epd7in3f library are in the same directory as the script.

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dazemc/E-Ink_Picture_Frame.git

2. Navigate into the repository:

   cd E-Ink_Picture_Frame

3. Run the script:

   python main.py

4. To change the images displayed, replace the 'zelda02.bmp', 'zelda01.bmp', and 'zelda00.bmp' in the pic directory with the images of your choice. Make sure to update the image file names in the script.

Troubleshooting

In case of errors, the script will log them in the terminal. If an IO error occurs, the script will log the error details. If the script is interrupted by a keyboard interrupt (ctrl + c), the epd7in3f module will exit and the script will terminate.
