# GxEPD
A simple E-Paper display library with common base class and separate IO class for Arduino.

- With full Graphics and Text support using Adafruit_GFX

- For SPI e-paper displays from Dalian Good Display 
- and SPI e-paper boards from Waveshare

### important note :
- these displays are for 3.3V supply and 3.3V data lines
- never connect data lines directly to 5V Arduino data pins, use e.g. 4k7/10k resistor divider
- series resistor only is not enough for reliable operation (back-feed effect through protection diodes)
- 4k7/10k resistor divider may not work with flat cable extensions or Waveshare 4.2 board, use level converter then
- do not forget to connect GND

## mapping suggestions

#### mapping suggestion from Waveshare SPI e-Paper to Wemos D1 mini
- BUSY -> D2, RST -> D4, DC -> D3, CS -> D8, CLK -> D5, DIN -> D7, GND -> GND, 3.3V -> 3.3V

#### mapping suggestion from Waveshare SPI e-Paper to ESP8266 NodeMCU:
- BUSY -> D2, RST -> D4, DC -> D3, CS -> D8, CLK -> D5, DIN -> D7, GND -> GND, 3.3V -> 3.3V

#### mapping suggestion from Waveshare SPI e-Paper to generic ESP8266
- BUSY -> GPIO4, RST -> GPIO2, DC -> GPIO0, CS -> GPIO15, CLK -> GPIO14, DIN -> GPIO13, GND -> GND, 3.3V -> 3.3V

#### mapping suggestion (by G6EJD) from Waveshare SPI e-Paper to ESP8266 Huzzah:
- BUSY -> 03, RST -> 15, DC -> 02, CS -> 00, CLK -> 14, DIN -> 13, GND -> GND, 3.3V -> 3.3V

#### mapping suggestion for ESP32, e.g. LOLIN32, see .../variants/.../pins_arduino.h for your board
- NOTE: there are variants with different pins for SPI ! CHECK SPI PINS OF YOUR BOARD
- BUSY -> 4, RST -> 16, DC -> 17, CS -> SS(5), CLK -> SCK(18), DIN -> MOSI(23), GND -> GND, 3.3V -> 3.3V

#### mapping suggestion for STM32F1, e.g. STM32F103C8T6 "BluePill"
- BUSY -> A1, RST -> A2, DC -> A3, CS-> A4, CLK -> A5, DIN -> A7

#### mapping suggestion for AVR, UNO, NANO etc.
- BUSY -> 7, RST -> 9, DC -> 8, CS-> 10, CLK -> 13, DIN -> 11

#### mapping suggestion for Arduino MEGA
- BUSY -> 7, RST -> 9, DC -> 8, CS-> 53, CLK -> 52, DIN -> 51

#### mapping suggestion for Arduino DUE
- BUSY -> 7, RST -> 9, DC -> 8, CS-> 77, CLK -> 76, DIN -> 75
- SPI pins are on 6 pin 2x3 SPI header

## connection scheme for (discontinued) DESTM32-S2 connection board for e-paper panels:

```
   connection to the e-Paper display is through DESTM32-S2 connection board, available from Good Display
