## (Experimental) Support for 2-Colour E-Paper-versions
Although this software was not originally intended to be used with the 2-Colour E-Paper Display from waveshare, there probably are a few folks which have the 2-colour version and yet would want to use this software.
Currently, there is a 'quick' fix to get this to work on the 2-Colour E-Paper display. It works by converting the 3-colour bmps used by the E-Paper display to 2-colour (black and white) bmps. To add support for the 2-colour version, follow the steps above as you would with the 3-Colour version. Then, execute:

The _experimental_ is there as I don't actually have the 2-Colour version of the E-Paper. I can only _assume_ that it will work. It's strongly recommended to create a backup of the 'E-Paper-Master' folder in case something doesn't work right. If that is the case, please open up an issue to let me know.
## Don't forget to check out the Wiki. It contains all the information to customising, understanding and setting up the script.
