CS

i put CS in P11

https://drive.google.com/file/d/12chEnjlWTnu94V6AZnhyeMdt583pmbWF/view?usp=sharing

and changed the code

import epaper4in2
from machine import Pin, SPI

# SPIV on ESP32
rst = Pin('P8')
dc = Pin('P10')
busy = Pin('P15')
cs = Pin('P11')
clk = Pin('P9')
mosi = Pin('P19')

spi = SPI(0, mode=SPI.MASTER, baudrate=2000000, polarity=0, phase=0, pins=(clk, mosi, None))

e = epaper4in2.EPD(spi,cs , dc, rst, busy)
e.init()

w = 400
h = 300
x = 0
y = 0

import framebuf
buf = bytearray(w * h // 8)
fb = framebuf.FrameBuffer(buf, w, h, framebuf.MONO_HLSB)
black = 0
white = 1
fb.fill(white)

print('print hello world')
fb.fill(white)
fb.text('Hello World',30,0,black)
e.display_frame(buf)

@gael-cobert Did it work? I'm not sure about using pins on the pyscan. Most of them have multiple labels, and when they are driven by the pyscan itself, they may not be usable.

Your small test script works here.

[gael cobert]

@robert-hh no it don't works :p
i don't know what to do ...

[robert-hh]

@gael-cobert Just give it a break. The connector where you have P11 now, is labeled as camera connector. As long as the camera is not used, all pins should be available. So let's focus on that, but not today. I will try to use the pyscan for that test tomorrow. At the moment, I use a simple expansion board.

[gael cobert]

@robert-hh ok thank you so much for your help :) i learned a lot of things indeed. See you tomorrow.

[robert-hh]

@gael-cobert Could not give it a rest, so I made a shot. This setting worked, all on the camera connector:

import epaper4in2
from machine import Pin, SPI

# SPIV on ESP32
sck = "P9"
miso = None
mosi = "P10"
dc = Pin("P3", Pin.OUT)
cs = Pin("P19", Pin.OUT)
rst = Pin("P11", Pin.OUT, value=1)
busy = Pin("P15", Pin.IN)
spi = SPI(0, baudrate=20000000, polarity=0, phase=0, pins=(sck, mosi, None))

e = epaper4in2.EPD(spi, cs, dc, rst, busy)
e.init()

w = 400
h = 300
x = 0
y = 0

# --------------------

# use a frame buffer
# 400 * 300 / 8 = 15000 - thats a lot of pixels
import framebuf
buf = bytearray(w * h // 8)
fb = framebuf.FrameBuffer(buf, w, h, framebuf.MONO_HLSB)
black = 0
white = 1
fb.fill(white)
print('print hello world')
fb.fill(white)
fb.text('Hello World',30,0,black)
e.display_frame(buf)

The only problem that I had was the USB of the pyscan. I never used it before, and so the driver needed am update. I skipped that and connected with telnet.

did you try it with a piscan ? i changed my code with your example but not change ... i changed P8 to P11
I changed other pin

[robert-hh]

@gael-cobert Yes. I used Pyscan for that. The same 0.7 version that you have. with long male/male adapter pins.
If that does not work, the problem may be somewhere else.

[gael cobert]

@robert-hh P11 is to the left of P13 ?

can you give me a photo of your board ?

use a frame buffer

400 * 300 / 8 = 15000 - thats a lot of pixels

import framebuf
buf = bytearray(w * h // 8)
fb = framebuf.FrameBuffer(buf, w, h, framebuf.MONO_HLSB)
black = 0

fb.fill(white)
print('print hello world')
fb.fill(white)
fb.text('Hello World',30,0,black)
e.display_frame(buf)

it works !!!!!!!!

[robert-hh]

@gael-cobert Wonderful. Although the display update times are pretty long. So it's more suited for signs.

[gael cobert]

@robert-hh yes do you know why it's so long ? ( around 3 sec )

i have another question, i am using atom IDE, i want to use the NFC scan, but sometimes it stop, if i click "run selected files"
if i transfer main.py file via FTP it don't seem to execute when the board start, it's a little bit strange

@gael-cobert I cannot tell anything about the Pycom IDE with either Atom or VSCode. The seem to fail constantly.
I prefer to use primitive tools, like picocom | putty | beagle term for REPL, and plain ftp | filezilla or in the absence of wifi pyboard.py + mpr.py for file transfer.

[Gijs]

@robert-hh You are correct, Im not sure yet how they messed it up, but it seems to be a mirrorring issue. From what I see, the connector is labeled from the top view, but the square pad is definitely connected to GND, instead of PWR_EN

I'll make sure it gets fixed, thanks!
