PaperTTY - Python module to render a TTY on e-ink displays using the IT8951 controller

papertty's Issues

Use with E-paper 7.8 inch

Hi Greg,

I'm trying to get your code to work with a Waveshare 7.8 inch e-paper, https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7.8inch_e-Paper_HAT, which has 1872 x 1404 resolution. I run the code on a Raspberry Pi 4 and have installed all required packages (bcm2835, IT8951 and PaperTTY).

When I run your application papertty with:

sudo ./papertty

I get the following error message (and nothing appears on the e-paper screen):

Initializing...
setting TTY size to 70 rows, 156 cols
Could not set TTY size (rows=70, cols=156); continuing.
Running...

Do you have any idea what could be problem? I understand you have written the code with a different display in mind, so I'm expecting to do some modifications. Appreciate all input!

Best regards,
Anders
