ESP32 + Waveshare e-Paper Display
And the HelloWorld examples from GxEDP (https://github.com/ZinggJM/GxEPD) as well as GxEDP2 (https://github.com/ZinggJM/GxEPD2)

MH-ET ePaper module 2.9" help
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.

E-Ink Work From Home Calendar
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)

Anyone else’s Joan Displays Need Licenses Now?
I'll use this thread as an opportunity to mention the open-source e-ink based solution out of BYU. (I have no affiliation.)

Meeting Room solution with iPad display
This is an in-house solution but it's better than most of what you can buy commercially (and we've had Crestron iPad-controlled meeting rooms). I wish we could buy PoE (wired) versions of this without needing to make physically build ourselves, or get roped into some vendor's subscription rodeo.

E-Ink Work From Home Calendar
I took inspiration from this project: Wall Ink and use their Server Plugin to build the images for me. All programming done in Arduino IDE against the esp8266.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing GxEPD and wall-ink you can also consider the following projects:
GxEPD2 - Arduino Display Library for SPI E-Paper Displays
nodemcu-devkit-v1.0
arduino-esp32 - Arduino core for the ESP32
wall-ink-server - Accompanying server software for the wall-ink project. Plugins for room scheduling through Outlook, Exchange, iCal, Booked, and Google Calendar API.
Inkplate-Arduino-library - Inkplate family Arduino library. The easiest way to add e-paper to your project.
