2.13 inch HAT showing static pattern and not responding to example code

I am using a Raspberry Pi ZeroW and am trying to use the Python3 example code to work with my display. It just shows a static pattern and doesn't respond at all when I run the example code from this repo. I've installed all the dependencies it says to and checked to make sure all the pins works. How do I fix this?

Hello, I did find this problem recently, which may be caused by the long reset time of low level. Try to reduce the low level delay time (<2ms) in reset(self). In addition, may I ask whether the C program can be used normally?

@SSYYL the C programs don't work either. It may just be a hardware connection issue.

It was the hardware design that caused some of the problems. Try further shortening the low level time by, like 0.2ms.

I found a bug https://github.com/waveshare/e-Paper/issues/198 maybe this is related. Width was set to 128, not 122

But I primarily tried the python code and that didn't work either. It's not limited to C.

Sorry to hear that. two of the units i tried work on raspberry with the provided py code. I used 2.13 touch version.

Another screen (not the same company or type) worked after I re soldered, so I think it may be a connection issue. I'll try this screen again on next Pi project.
