eink-waveshare-rs Build Status

This library contains a driver for the 4.2 Inch E-Paper Moduel from Waveshare.

Support for more (especially the smaller and faster ones) should follow after the library around the 4.2" EInk is stable and tested enough.

4.2 Inch E-Ink

Out of the Box the original driver from Waveshare supported only full updates.

Currently only support for the 4.2 Black/White one

Be careful with the partial updates! It was only tested in a mBED implementation, the rust one wasn't tested enough yet!!!
