How I got it working with ESP8266

[electricplant]

So this library and everything connecting it is a mess. I spent a whole day messing with UNO and other boards and just got it to work with esp8266 so here's what I did, hoping it helps others. Using Arduino IDE

Download the GxEPD library instead, (also have the basics of programming esp8266 in the IDE down).
Open the GxEPD_Example.

I'm using the 1.54" board with a red sticker, so I uncommented this line:
#include <GxGDEH0154D67/GxGDEH0154D67.h> // 1.54" b/w

For other boards you gotta find that out yourself, sorry. I only have the one

Pin definitions (Esp8266/Display) (using nodemcu v3 board, and pins on the board itself, not gpio pinouts)
D2/BUSY
D5/CLK
D3/DC
D8/CS
D7/SDI

Good luck to everyone who bought this display. It's a pain.

I am trying to program using a Heltec B/W 1.54 display and an ESP32S board. Are your Busy & D/C pins any digital pin you choose on your ESP8266 or are their dedicated pins?

Many thanks
