Planning new layout… Today, tomorrow, and? What info should show on this display?
Now there is left to right
Day, sunrise, sunset, 24h min/max, rain 24h, and finnish name days
Ruuvitag temperature and hour-by-hour forecast to present day and tomorrow (it show rain precipitation if raining on current hour)
I have exactly same ePaper display available. Might have to use this code for it
Have you tried to use a separate wlan-receiver for the display and just use the Raspi to refresh the screen? What I gathered, the display itself could basically run from an USB battery.
@Vee Hi, did you have any problems with the image losing ‘contrast’? It looks fine for the first 8-10 hours and then it starts to slowly degrade, up to the point where you can barely see anything.
Thank you for the answer. Yes, exactly the same for me. It is strange that for the first 3-4 days it worked fine, although i updated it many times and quite frequently while testing. I think that once per hour is quite rare, it should not have any problems.
Anyway, i have already contacted waveshare. They’ve told me to change that vcom value, but it doesn’t do any good. They said that if it doesn’t work they’ll probably send me another or a refund.
