Tricky to program but very impressive when working!
After a TON of trial and error attempting to load a bitmap I figured out that each byte of data sent to the display encodes not one but TWO pixels worth of horizontal data! Once that was figured out, I was able to send bitmaps in color and get a great looking result!

Did not work for me
I followed the epd sample build instructions on raspberry pi4 but other than some debug messages about going High and Low there was nothing on the display. After days of troubleshooting I tried with an Arduino board and it worked. This device is not compatible with Raspberry Pi, at least not with the waveshare provided sample code for both C and Python. Waveshare should be clear in description that this display is not compatible with Raspberry Pi or at least that they don't support it and remove the faulty instructions from their web side for Raspberry Pi.

Software lacking!
Nice, well-built display. Unfortunately, the ‘demo’ software sucks. There’s a bunch of examples, but for other models. The arduino software for this model just displays a small color image. Trying to adapt the example code for drawing lines, circles, etc on this display so far has been unsuccessful.
