That HAT is designed for the RPi, so making it difficult to integrate. It would be easier to directly connect the display to an ESP32 driver board like the one sold by Waveshare, making the solution plug and play. The driver board supplied has the required drivers, but needs an SPI bus to control it. |

The correct url would be: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1/9.7inch-e-paper-hat.htm This is a parallel interface e-paper display. It needs a connection module for parallel IF e-paper panels, such as the IT8951 HAT. All the logic to drive such displays is in the IT8951. Therefore it is quite easy to adapt any existing display class for such a display to a new display. But this is left to the user; I can't provide any required support for it. |

The HAT has several interfaces. One of them is SPI. GxEPD2 supports some of these displays, using the SPI interface.
