+//! A simple Driver for the Waveshare 3.97" E-Ink Display via SPI
+//!
+//!
+//! Build with documentation from [Waveshare](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.97inch_e-Paper_HAT+_Manual),
+//! Oriented on their provided source code [github](https://github.com/waveshareteam/e-Paper/tree/master/E-paper_Separate_Program/3in97_e-Paper)
+//!
+//! Partial refresh and 4-Grey scale is not yet implemented but I included the fast_init Sequence.
+//! The lut seems to be baked into the HAT+ so I did not yet see a reason to implement set_lut(),
+//! neither can I provide a lut as it doesn't seem to be provided.
+//! It is tested on an esp32c5.
