Thank you for the reply back.
I have managed to get the parts connected. And wrote editted the code down to something more simple:
// GxEPD_MultiDisplayExample : test example for e-Paper displays from Waveshare and from Dalian Good Display Inc.

// Created by Jean-Marc Zingg based on demo code from Good Display,
// available on http://www.good-display.com/download_list/downloadcategoryid=34&isMode=false.html

But I am having trouble with any images showing up on the e-ink displays. This link shows the setup needed for the board to work correctly.

Here is a screenshot of the needed settings:
and here is my settings:
My issue is that I cannot get the programmer model AVRISP MkII
I have looked for resources on how to install the above model but to no luck.
I have tried the normal upload and this is the output I get but nothing works. So I am assumin gI need the programmer model to make the ESP32 board work?
