W600_Pico SPI pins

Post by GryKyo » Mon Mar 23, 2020 1:45 am

I have started to like the simple ftp server interface on this little $2 thing to bung new or modified code over WiFi to test on the board. Today I tried the ePaper driver modules from https://github.com/mcauser/micropython-waveshare-epaper which seem to work for quite a few dev boards.
I have had no luck getting a WaveShare 2.9" ePaper display to even clear so think that I am having an issue with hardware. I have code running (a cut down "test.py" from the examples on this GitHub) and have no errors or exceptions, everything initializes OK. I have no display though!

Has anybody managed to understand the pin definitions for this chip and has anybody managed to operate the SPI interface? I would love to know what hardware pins and definitions you are using, it is like i have a very basic wiring issue!

This may help?

Code: Select all

import epaper2in9, framebuf
from machine import SPI, Pin

print("MAIN: begins here")

# SPI0 on W600_Pico
spi = SPI(0, baudrate=100000, polarity=1, phase=0, sck=Pin(Pin.PB_16), miso=Pin(Pin.PB_17), mosi=Pin(Pin.PB_18))
cs = Pin(Pin.PB_15)
dc = Pin(Pin.PB_07)
rst = Pin(Pin.PB_08)
busy = Pin(Pin.PB_09)

e = epaper2in9.EPD(spi, cs, dc, rst, busy)
e.init()
...or possibly this?

Code: Select all

>>> import machine
>>> help(machine.Pin)
