Hi.
I have LED SHIM and Inky pHAT and was wondering if it can work with Meadow today or what it will take to make it work.
Thanks!

Inky pHAT
From the product description of the Inky pHat it looks like it should work. The product page gives the driver chip for the board as the SSD1608 for boards shipped from 2020. The good news is that we have a driver for that chip in the Meadow.Foundation library. So although we haven’t tested it I cannot see any reason why this should not work.
The LED SHIM also looks to be supported so you should be good for that board as well.

Thanks for the reply!
I will start with inky PHAT and here are some things that I am wondering about.
I am trying to compare the SSD1608 drawing with the Raspberry Pi pins:
Inky pHAT Pinout Raspberry Pi
ePaper SSD1608 Meadow Foundation
Trying to compare the drawings, the pin mapping starts look like that:
-----------------------------------------------------
MEADOW SSD1608 INKY PHAT
-----------------------------------------------------
D15 BUSY Pin 11 (Busy)
D14 RST Pin 13 (Reset)
D13 D/C Pin 15 (Data/Command)
D12 ECS ??????
MOSI MOSI Pin 19 (SPI0 MOSI)
SCK CSK Pin 23 (SPI0 SCLK)
GND GND Pin 6 (Ground)
3V3 VIN Pin 1 (3v3 Power)
Pin 24 (Chip Select)
?Pin 3 (I2C1 SDA)
Pin 5 (I2C1 SCL)
Thanks!
I decided to start with LED SHIM instead since there are fewer wires to work with and it is a more simple case to work with. I will start another thread with some questions.
