inky VS epd_display

The Pimoroni Inky Impression in your link comes with a number of useful example demos, including one (image.py) which shows an image of your choice. So the actual coding for your project is already mostly done :-)

Inky library by Pimoroni

I've been wanting to use my wHAT e-ink display for weather information, but nothing I was finding suited what I wanted. So I wrote up a completely new project using the provided libraries from Pimoroni for the display, while using pyOWM for the OpenWeatherMap integration.

Should be pretty easy! It's built to be flexible and work with different hardware. I just looked at the phat library and it should almost be totally feasible. Adding color support would also be possible, but will require a more work.

Uses a 5.7" 600x448px 7 color ePaper/eInk Raspberry Pi HAT from Pimoroni (quite pricy though) with a Raspberry Pi 3 that periodically creates a screenshot of a web app via CRON and then renders it to the display – their repo makes it quite easy. A refresh takes around ~20-60 seconds.

Yes I used their library, it's still actively developed.

Take a look at the html example in Pimoroni's library: if I remember right this was something to do with getting headless Firefox to screenshot a website, and display that on the InkyImpression. Phil Howard (Pimoroni's softwre guy) tweeted a couple of examples of his personal website on an Impression, so it shouldn't be too hard to get this to work for whichever website you want, surely.

I've seen this guide, and it seems the software comes with few examples and that this is their repo, right?

Plugins can display any content you want and the structure is open and we'll documented. Check it out here: https://github.com/txoof/epd_display

I opened an enhancement ticket here.

PaperPi runs on Raspberry Pi OS Buster or Bullseye and supports almost every EPaper Screen WaveShare sells from the 2" monochrome to 10" HD grayscale right out of the box with a simple setup, configuration easy use.

I use PaperPi to show what's playing.

I've been working on a modular e-paper display loop called PaperPi. It's written in Python and supports configurable modules with different layouts. The layout automatically scales the plugin contents to the dimensions of whatever waveshare screen you attach.

Well. Now im Going to need to update my PaperPi to use these great looking HD screens. I can't wait to dig into your code and learn how you do this magic.
