Arduino library for the MPico systems TCM2 (Timing Controller Module gen2) / TC2 (Timing Controller gen2) E-Ink display controller. Currently supporting the 4.41" version (TCS2-P441-231_v1.1).

https://www.mpicosys.com/news/timing-controller-solutions-generation-2/

The library has been developed and tested under Arduino Pro 3.3V 8MHz and Arduino/Genuino MKR1000. The examples provided can be easily adjusted for both: the only relevant difference is the pin used for the SPI chip select (10 on the Pro, 7 on the MKR).

The TCM2 module tested is a bundle with a Pervasive Display Aurora Mb v231 4.41", 400x300px (113dpi).

TCM2 accepts EPD data formats. A tool for converting arbitrary graphics into EPD type 0 can be found in the tools folder. This tool supports only the 4.41" version.
