Over the Christmas holidays, I made quite a bit of progress with the e-ink display project and managed to get most of the board up and running. However, the flash memory and Bluetooth are still missing.
Since I don't have Bluetooth yet, I hardcoded some test images into my code using a converter I wrote that converts a .png file into the format I need for the display and I can fill that data directly into an array. It's not pretty and VS Code is really struggling with the 160.000 lines long array, but it works for testing purposes and it's really cool to see some real images on the display ^^
The first image shows a checkerboard pattern where all the colors of the display can be seen in an alternating pattern. The video shows the transition from a very ugly “Hello world” picture that I drew in Paint to a much better looking picture that my boyfriend @karb drew for me
