So ive recently fell DEEP into this hobby, and have a few RAK boards. my friends and i have been working on our nodes, and we originally were going to go with the OLED display, but we all are BAD at soldering. Plus i find RAK charges alot for the screens. So we found out that RAK sells an e-ink display! I also found a feature request on github, asking if they can add the 14000 E-ink to the firmware. They said they did, as of 2022, BUT I SWEAR FOR THE LIFE OF ME. I cant figure out how to enable the screen! ive tried all the OLED-Overide settings ive tried diffrent CPU boards ive tried diffrent baseboard and screen.

IT HAST to be somthing im being stupid about right? i cant find anything online other than the black and white screen is suported and a 18 second video of some guy getting it working. but no instructons or breadcrumbs to make it work.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Your right you gotta build it from source. It was a little tedious, but i am luckily a chronic linux nerd. 1000003803]!

    Annoying part was figuring out Git. My default the meshtastic guide has you build bleed edge firmware.

    I made 3 builds

    Bleeding edge Alpha And stable

    Stable has a simple and old UI compared to the other 2. So ill stick with alpha.

    Thanks for the help
