I admittedly have next to no clue what I'm doing when it comes to E-Displays and honestly am just barely figuring out Arduino if were being honest, but nonetheless here we are! I have an e-paper display that I've connected to my Arduino UNO and am able to get the sample code from Waveshare running with out a problem where I'm struggling is modifying that sample code to print out my own content
It seems like the Sample code is set up to print an image, but I need it to just print text and can't see to figure out how to make that happen. I tried looking at some of the other code for some of their other displays but what was unable to get it to actually work on mine. Is there someway I can convert my char arrays into an image for this???? that seems like an overly complex solution but I don't know??
I looked at using GxEPD2 but it doesn't seem like it's compatible with my display and even when I got it working on a smaller compatible display it just took up too much memory to actually be useful for what I need it to display. I know it would probably be easier to not use an Arduino UNO but I'm going to eventually be battery powering everything so I'm also trying to maximize battery life, and correct me if I'm wrong but the UNO would probably be the easiest way to do that????
I can post photos of the code if any kind soul feels compelled to help me but right now I'm literally just using the sample code lol
