e-paper7in5 Demo

Starter project for using the Waveshare 7in5 black & white e-paper screen

This has been developed for use with the WaveShare 7.5in black and white e-paper screen, and a Raspberry Pi, to demonstrate the basics of drawing, writing text and displaying images on the e-paper screen. It's the sort of thing I wish I'd found when I started meddling wigth the display.
