# ePaper display × ResinOS
## Background
This is based on the [`resin-io-playground/resinio-PaPiRus`](https://github.com/resin-io-playground/resinio-PaPiRus) Dockerfile here adapted to work on Debian Stretch (Pi2 / 3) or Raspbian Stretch (Pi 1 / Zero).
Although this is intended for the [PaPiRus](https://www.pi-supply.com/product/papirus-epaper-eink-screen-hat-for-raspberry-pi/) HAT, it successfully works with the [Percheron Electronics E-paper HAT](http://www.percheron-electronics.uk/shop/e-paper-hat/).
## Why
The [`PiSupply/PaPiRus`](https://github.com/PiSupply/PaPiRus) is nice as it gives you Python scripts for various demos and functionality. For example, `papirus-draw image.png -r 180` will render an image rotated 180 degrees to the display. `papirus-clear` will clear the display. This is in addition to the Python2.7 API.
## Installation with unmanaged ResinOS
This is tested with the open-source "unmanaged" version of [ResinOS]() that can be deployed locally.
1. Follow [Getting Started](https://resinos.io/docs/raspberrypi3/gettingstarted/) to install ResinOS on a Pi.
2. `git clone https://github.com/andrewn/resin-epaper`
3. `cd resin-epaper`
3. Edit the top of the `Dockerfile` to match the Pi number you want to deploy to
4. `sudo resin local push --source .`
5. Wait for the image to build (this will take a few mins)
6. When the container starts, it should display `logo.png`
