SSD1675 ePaper Display Driver

Rust driver for the Solomon Systech SSD1675 e-Paper display (EPD) controller, for use with [embedded-hal].

Description

This driver is intended to work on embedded platforms using the embedded-hal trait library. It is no_std compatible, builds on stable Rust, and only uses safe Rust. It supports the 4-wire SPI interface.

Tested Devices

The library has been tested and confirmed working on these devices:

• Red/Black/White [Inky pHAT] version 2 on Raspberry Pi Zero (pictured above)

Examples

Note: To build the examples the examples feature needs to be enabled. E.g.

cargo build --release --examples --features examples

Raspberry Pi with Inky pHAT

The Raspberry Pi Inky pHAT example, shows how to display information on an [Inky pHAT] using this crate. The photo at the top of the page shows this example in action. To avoid the need to compile on the Raspberry Pi itself I recommend cross-compiling with the [cross] tool. With cross installed build the example as follows:

cross build --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --release --example raspberry_pi_inky_phat --features examples

After it is built copy target/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/release/examples/raspberry_pi_inky_phat to the Raspberry Pi.
