new display driver. Is it working? No. Is it updating once, and then transitioning to static and banding where my main menu should be? That one, yes.
there was a time when I’d despair over something like this, but experience has shown me that a thing not working is always the first step on the way to a working thing. The trick is to keep working on it.
close-up on that e-paper noise, because while it’s not what I want to see there, it does look pretty rad…
Question: How much cursing was there when I realized the mistake in my display driver code?
Answer: Yes.
follow-up question: what was the mistake?
answer: in the redesign, I moved the “enable peripherals” pin to GPIO3 instead of GPIO0, since GPIO0 is the ESP32's boot pin. Turns out your firmware doesn't learn from your schematic by osmosis.
@joeycastillo sure would be convenient if it did though...
