    Hi thanks for your reply. The thing is that i couldn't seem to find demo code on the website though i did find a GitHub repo by MH-ET Live. Going through to the ESP32 file bring me hereto the GxEPD zip file. I've downloaded, included the library in my Arduino IDE and tried running the example code, commenting out all the 2.9" variants but still no luck, the programme freezes at the init stage with no change to the epaper display.

    It works, you have to use some creative programming. Check out this library GxEPD and try running an example image (https://github.com/ZinggJM/GxEPD/blob/master/src/GxGDEW075Z08/BitmapExamples.h)
