Sorry for the late response but I ordered this display but unfortunately my retailer won't deliver it any time soon.

I definitely need your help with this.
AFAIK this screen is red-black-white, right?
So can you try setting this in your ePiframe config to BW+Red, then restart with sudo systemctl restart ePiframe.service and let me know if it worked?

Thank you for fast answer...
But my display is Black / White, 16 Grey Scales this

Strange, as the Waveshare code for this display here expects red image ryimage what is the cause of this error.

Can you try setting this BW+Red flag anyway and let me know? Maybe a different Waveshare class is needed here?

I think this is an issue with the correct class for your display. Let's wait for Waveshare to respond here:

Waveshare does not respond.
I search any information about Python examples.
No one...

But examples on C is work fine.
It's is possible work ePiframe with display controller IT8951 via C ?
