EPDiy E-Paper Driver
=======================================
EPDiy is a driver board which talks to affordable E-Paper (or E-Ink) screens, which are usually sold as replacement screens for E-Book readers. Why are they interesting?
* Easy on the eyes and paper-like aesthetics
* No power consumption when not updating
* Sunlight-readable
Ready-made DIY modules for this size and with 4bpp (16 Grayscale) color support are currently quite expensive. This project uses Kindle replacement screens, which are available for 20$ (small) / 30$ (large) on ebay!
The EPDiy driver board targets multiple E-Paper displays. As the driving method for all matrix-based E-ink displays seems to be more or less the same, only the right connector and timings are needed. The EPDiy PCB v5 features 33pin, 34pin and a 39pin connectors, which allow to drive the following display types: ED097OC4, ED060SC4, ED097TC2, ED060SC7. For the full list of supported displays, refer to the table below.
Revision 5 of the board is optimized for the use with LiPo batteries, featuring a LiPo charger and ultra-low deep sleep current.
This project supports a driver for the ESP-IDF and Arduino. For installation instructions, please refer to the [documentation](https://epdiy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#getting-your-board).
Building It
-----------
If you want to build a board right now, there are two possible routes:
- Use the new v6 PCB (`hardware/epaper-breakout/gerbers_v6.zip`).
**So far, I only tested a prototype of it. The gerbers only contain fixes for powering from battery, but have not yet been ordered with.**
**If you have tested them, please let me know!**
The BOM is available at (`hardware/epaper-breakout/BOM.csv`).
Positioning files for SMT assembly are available at (`hardware/epaper-breakout/gerbers/epaper-breakout-top-pos.csv`).
Please double check the part positioning and Rotation with your assembly service!
More information on the order process and where to find parts is in the [documentation](https://epdiy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#getting-your-board).
Make sure to select the `V6` board revision in `idf.py menuconfig` when building the examples.
- Use the old v5 PCB (`hardware/epaper-breakout/gerbers_v5.zip`).
This is the last board using the LT1945 booster.
Make sure to select the `V5` board revision in `idf.py menuconfig` when building the examples.

Troubleshooting
---------------
The following list is compiled from past experiences and GitHub issues:
* **The displayed image displays only part of the image.** Make sure to select the correct display type as described [here](https://epdiy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#selecting-a-display-type).
* **The existing image fades / darkens when updating a partial screen region.** Make sure the VCOM voltage is [calibrated](https://epdiy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#calibrate-vcom) for your specific display.
* **The second third of the image is replaced with the last third.** This seems to be a timing issue we could not yet quite figure out the reason for. For a workarround or suggestions please [join the discussion](https://github.com/vroland/epdiy/issues/15).
* **The ESP does not boot correctly when external periperals are connected.** Make sure not to pull GPIO12 high during boot, as it is a strapping pin internal voltage selection (https://github.com/vroland/epdiy/issues/17).
