thanks! couple of things; can you

• add your name to CONTRIBUTING.rst?
• take a look at adding tests?
• find the pdf datasheet and add it to the doc/tech-spec directory?
• check if the docs needs updating?

let us know if you have any questions. See for example 093e53f for a comprehensive driver addition.

hannescam requested your review on this pull request.

Please take a look at adding unit tests, this cannot be merged without.

Isn't this very very similar to the other st7567 driver but just with different init parameters? Can it not just inherit from the other and override the init method?

[hannescam]

I tried that, but some things are off that arent possible to set from the parameters that are documented
and i will try to implement the tests

[hannescam]

i implemented some tests based on the st7567 tests but i cant test it because my raspberry pi broke

The tests don't require raspberry pi hardware. This is also the reason they can be run in a github actions type of environment.

i didnt know that but how can i test if they are working and how do they work (i couldnt find any documentation) because when i run them no matter which i got no output

You can run the tests by installing tox:

pip install tox

Go to the repository root, and run the tests using tox:

cd luma.lcd
tox -e py310

If you want to test against a different version of python, use one of py37, py38, py39, py310 or py311 instead.

This will download the dependencies and run the tests on your machine. Running the tests works out of the box on linux or mac but not sure about windows.
