I made a Pico powered E-ink tarot card reader, complete with random 'glitches'
I used this e-paper driver, alongside this driver that supports partial-refreshes. I simply load in the partial driver for the animation, then unload it and load in the other, for displaying the final image. I tried combining the drivers, but it was a bit too much for me to understand right now. I did, however, modify the init function on both of them, to make swapping between them faster, and to speed up the card-display.

e-Paper and Pico W not working together
By the way, I invite you to try my driver for this screen: https://github.com/phoreglad/pico-epaper/tree/main. It's much faster than the original (especially the PIO version) and allows changing the screen rotation. One caveat is that current version doesn't really support partial updates.

Hey y'all, quick question for a noob: is there a straightforward way to shrink a byte array? (For storing/displaying images)
See the IMG folder in the github page https://github.com/phoreglad/pico-epaper/tree/main/examples/img
