Display Driver for M5Stack Coreink?

Post by DorkOfOrk » Sat Jan 30, 2021 11:33 am

Hello,
Yesterday I received an M5Stack Coreink with a GooDisplay GDEW0154M09 1.54" e-ink Display according to the information given on M5Stack's website. At that time I thought the display is the same as the Waveshare 1.54 and tried to run generic MicroPython together with the drivers from mcauser at:
https://github.com/mcauser/micropython-waveshare-epaper
But that did not work.
Does anyone know of a driver for this display?

@AJB2K3:
I guess this will be useless, the display he wrote the code for is called "Waveshare 2.9" Black/White GDEH029A1 e-paper display".
The name sounds a bit like GDEW0154M09 used in the M5Stack CoreInk and both datasheets show the name GooDisplay on them...
A look at the command set reveals many differences and the GooDisplay/Waveshare 2.9" of the "ESP8266 E Ink Badge" seems to be more or less the same controller as the Waveshare 1.54" but much different to the GooDisplay 1.54" the CoreInk uses.

So at the moment, the only option seems to dissect the Waveshare Micropython driver, and the C/Arduino driver for the CoreInk and with both 1.54" Datasheet on the table try to port it.
I hoped that anyone had done that already.

The same issue keeps me from buying the newly available M5Paper.

Regards
Dirk

I have the Coreink and M5Paper and am writing a book on programming them in UIFLOW, Micropython and arduino (using M5stack Micropython).
I would like to move to Maistream MP hence why I'm also interested but getting the source code is a battle.
