CALDAV without SSL / run on a different display?

[hansu]

I tried to run you application with a 5in83b_V2 display. So I adapted the few lines (see https://github.com/hansu/eInkCalendar/commit/309d41103ad1a059bc407b6f7bb0d4c5ba7c9a60).

As I am running the CalDAV server on the local network I get a SSLError which complains about the certificate (what was to be expected).

So I tried http:// instead in the CALDAV_CONTACT_URL which makes the application run without errors or warnings.

My question at this point - does your application display something even with no connection or no data from the calendar?

And can you please clarify why I need I WEBDAV_CALENDAR_URL and I CALDAV_CONTACT_URL ? THanks!

Hi, If ther's no connection to the calendar (or none configured), the display will show "the surrounding". So imagine the first picture in the readme without the calendar-entries in the middle (so month, date, month-progress, icons, .... remain).

WEBDAV ist used to get the calendar-entries, CALDAV for birthday-notifications (the bottom left icon will show up, as well as the name of the person)

Hi, thanks for your quick response! So then it's probably more to do to run it on a smaller display (geometry adaption etc.) I assume. Can you point me to the location which needs adaption for my case?

I would get started with printing an arbitrary picture on the screen. You can take a look at my show_content function or the documentation of the Waveshare-library. It basically just prints a bitmap. If you get this woking, you can come back to my code. (It basically just autmatically creates this image which gets printed. You can even take a look at the interim-result: the programm should created a EXPORT-black.bmp on every run in the main-folder.)

Unfortunately I can't help you any further, as I only have this one display.

I bought now the same 7.5 inch display which you are using, but the calendar still shows no output. With the manufacturer's demo program the display is working.

I only get a TypeError, but not sure it that is the problem.

$ ./run_calendar.sh

I'm running it on Bullseye - you too?

Sorry for the late reply, what python-version do you use? Could you test it once with 3.7?

[hansu]

I have tested with Python 3.10

Have you been able to test py3.7 in the meantime? Because if it work there but not in 3.10, I would need to upgrade my raspi and refactor the code ^^

I returned the display because I didn't want to spend so much time in this. This was in December, so I wasn't able to test that unfortunately.
