Standing atop a pile of code and e-paper displays, I am victorious. Veni vidi vici.
You all get to be my rubber duck. Again. This because I work alone, and don't have a coworker I can bore with this. 
I've been writing some e-paper drivers, and after I got the mode switching out of the way, I ran into so many other issues.
The datasheets for these devices are cryptic.
The sample code provided by the manufacturers invariably bit bangs the SPI and does things like reset the device 3 times in a row and other things that aren't production-worthy, leaving me having to kind of second guess things (why are they bit banging instead of using the SPI API? What is the target MHz here? do I really need to reset 3 times in a row? will one work? twice etc)
And then there's the issue of partial vs full updates.
Full updates kind of "wash" the screen. Otherwise you get residual ink build up that leads to ghosting from previous images. They take awhile for the screen to refresh when doing it this way.
Partial updates are much much faster but do not "wash" the screen, meaning you get ink build up as you're doing it, but the updates go by quick.
*sigh*
My driver is kind of working, but it's not washing properly, and I also don't like the code. Plus sometimes I get a weird screen during the washing process - like an old tube TV picture's hsync going bad, and then that image is ghosted onto the next screen.
It's frustrating. I'm so close, but none of this is easy to run down.
These displays are *tricky*. I didn't have this complication with the ones that don't support partial updates, but supporting partial updates on the (more expensive) devices that support it is too important to punt, even if it's heckin' tricky to do.
Man, this whole e-paper endeavor has turned into quite a bear.

Use all the techniques you learned in class then write your code and when you get stuck, and you will come back here and ask a question in the area provided.

But ... but ... that means effort.
But it's no effort for you, so why not just do it for me and then no-one has to try hard?

Shirley not!?

How do you figure this is a "self-respecting student"?
And don't call me Shirley.

Why would you encourage this guy? He should find it himself, rather than coming to the lounge with it.
Sometimes, I don't know. I just don't.

We've just transitioned to Open source, git, agile, AWS, etc. all at once with no preparation so I have a problem. I need to know what is going on in branches, both remote and local. We don't seem to be doing releases so that creates a log jam or maybe a back log. I see the writing on the wall. I want something that will do color bars that can be labeled by branch, person, feature, etc. A Gantt Chart might do it but I figure something is out there already. This is not a web site. A false move could wipe out the entire system as it is a 150 plus C# file lambda    . Testing is, well, it runs or it doesn't. Anything else will come as a surprise. Oh... Agile has no provision for git so we're on our own.

Looks awesome but is just one more advanced tool to learn. Maybe later. Not sure I could get permissions to connect it to the corporate git repository. Like I said, I just need something like a Gantt chart for now until we get our brains together a little bit.

Mike's suggestion is a good one. If you can't get your brains together a little bit then I suggest you try again. Do some Googling, YouTubing and reading until you get a better idea of what you are doing. if you don't want to risk losing all this source code then:
1. Make sure you have a backup.
2. Figure out how to use the tool Mike suggested.
...or take up another profession - if you can't cope with GIT you are in the wrong job.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
