Setup on Raspberry Pi OS

  • First, enable the SPI inferface on the Pi if you haven't already.
  • Then, install the Python requirements
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-pil python3-numpy python3-gpiozero
  • Then install the drivers for Python
git clone https://github.com/waveshare/e-Paper ~/e-Paper
cd ~/e-Paper/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python
python3 setup.py install
  • Check out the code if you haven't already:
git clone https://github.com/tsbarnes/epdtext.git ~/epdtext
  • Install the remaining Python dependencies
cd ~/epdtext
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  • Then (optionally) create local_settings.py and add your settings overrides there.
  • Also optional is installing the systemd unit.
cp ~/epdtext/epdtext.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl enable epdtext
