== Summary ==<br />
The Pico ePaper 3.7 is a 3.7-inch e-paper module for Raspberry Pi Pico/Pico2 with a resolution of 480 × 280 pixels and an SPI interface. It supports two or four grayscale levels, requires no backlight, and retains the last displayed image without power.<br />

sudo wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/5/5a/Pico_ePaper_Code.zip<br />

== Notes and version constraints ==<br />
* The stated refresh times are based on test data; actual times may vary depending on environment.<br />
* Full refresh causes visible flickering – this is a normal effect of e-ink displays.<br />
* After waking from deep-sleep mode, the display must first be cleared or re-initialized to avoid afterimages.<br />
* For SPI communication issues: check wiring and verify SPI parameters (baud rate, mode).<br />
* Switching between 2- and 4-grayscale modes requires sending specific register commands; exact command sequences must be verified in the driver code.<br />
