MMM-IT8951

Description:
This module communicates with a IT8951 card to display MagicMirror² on a e-ink screen. It opens MagicMirror² page on a Chrome browser (with Puppeteer) and observes each DOM update. Periodically, the e-ink is fully refreshed and partially refreshed on DOM update.
Partial refresh is done in a flashy way by default (that is needed to support the 16 gray levels) but if image is only B/W (without gray), the refresh mode is changed to have a direct update without flash. Another way to have a fast refresh without flash is by adding the CSS class eink-4levels to a module. Thus, the refresh is forced to 4-level gray only.
The IT8951 is typically used by some Waveshare e-paper screens.

Sample of display with multiple modules:
Each module’s area is individually updated when data changes.
All modules on 4 gray levels are updated seamlessly. Modules on 16 gray levels are updated with a flash area (here: the song cover).Additional informations

A full refresh can be done by sending a notification
