P096 Lolin ePaper. Updatting screen without flikkering?

[joost d]

I use the Epaper display (SSD1680) with the plugin P096.
I like to update the screen every second. Unfortunately the screen flickers at every update of a subtext. That is annoying.

I know it is possible to ovoid this flickering. I have that working with a simple arduino sketch using "partial update".

Is updating without flickering also possible with the P096?
If not, i will try to write a plugin by my self based on P096 and the simple arduine sketch that works without flickering.

Tanks in advance.

You must realize that updating your e-ink screen frequently will literally wear out the pixels.
The pixels are balls with some paint on 1 side. The display will literally rotate these balls.

If you update your e-ink screen frequently (even partial update) your pixels will fade as the paint will wear off.

When you need frequent updates, then e-ink is not the best choice for a display type.

Partial update is not implemented in the plugin.

Please do not copy & adjust this plugin to create a new plugin, but add that as a feature to the current plugin.

Ok, the wearing out issue is good to know. I will think about it.

Adding partial update to p096: I have tried, but I am not an expert in programming espeasyplugin's and it looks like adafruit is not supporting "partitional update", especially the function ". Updatewindow" is missing.
