Reorganizes the tree so adding a new panel is purely additive — drop in a
new src/panels/{vendor}/v{N}/ folder and a new platformio.ini env block,
no surgery to existing files.
Layout:
src/ shared across all panels
src/panels/waveshare73/v1/ V1 driver, version, README
data/waveshare73-v1/ LittleFS payload at this panel's size
src/config.h still defines the panel-agnostic bits (NVS keys, color
palette, network, sync-fail border) but EPD_WIDTH / EPD_HEIGHT / pin
assignments now come from each env's -D flags. Strict #error guards in
production builds; native tests get the V1 defaults via UNIT_TEST.
build_src_filter per env picks the right driver:
waveshare73-v1 main + panels/waveshare73/v1/
test-display test_display + panels/waveshare73/v1/
sim-yellow sim_border + panels/waveshare73/v1/
sim-red sim_border + panels/waveshare73/v1/
native-test unchanged
When V2 hardware lands, the diff is a new env block, a new
src/panels/waveshare133/v1/epd_driver.cpp, and regenerated screens at
data/waveshare133-v1/. Existing V1 envs stay frozen — re-flashing old
units remains a one-liner.
scripts/gen_screens.py takes --panel to target the correct
data/{panel}/ subfolder; defaults to waveshare73-v1.
29/29 native tests pass. All four hardware envs build clean.

waveshare73 / v1
Driver for the Waveshare 7.3" 6-color e-ink panel (800×480, Spectra-6) on a discrete ESP32 dev-board breakout. This is the original V1 firmware that shipped on Matt's prototype unit.
What lives here
epd_driver.cpp— implements theepd.hinterface for this panel:epd_init,epd_sleep,epd_fill,epd_draw_image_from_file,epd_draw_image_with_border,epd_draw_qr,epd_draw_ap_screen,epd_draw_setup_screen. The init byte sequence at the top ofepd_init()is verified for this specific controller; do not blind-paste from another panel.version.h—PANEL_FW_VERSIONstring transmitted during provisioning. Bump when the driver changes in a way the server should know about.
Per-panel data (lives elsewhere)
Pre-rendered LittleFS payloads for this panel size live at
data/waveshare73-v1/:
ap_bg.bin,setup_bg.bin— captive-portal and account-binding background screens at 800×480img.bin,img_portrait.bin— test images used by thetest-displaybuild env
Regenerate with scripts/gen_screens.py --width 800 --height 480 after
changing the source artwork.
Build env
pio run -e waveshare73-v1 --target upload # production firmware
pio run -e test-display --target upload # single-image hardware test
pio run -e sim-yellow --target upload # sync-fail border test
pio run -e sim-red --target upload # no-WiFi border test
The build flags supplied by platformio.ini parametrize src/config.h —
this folder doesn't redefine pins or dimensions itself.
QR positions
epd_draw_ap_screen and epd_draw_setup_screen have hardcoded QR
coordinates (cell size, x, y) tuned for 800×480 + the bg screens at
data/waveshare73-v1/. If the bg art changes, the matching constants
in gen_screens.py and the driver must be re-tuned together.
