Description

Has one encountered problems with corrupted images on the eink display? Its seems like I am getting corrupted images quite often. I don't think its a hardware problem since I am able to have a standalone program that consistently displays an image on the eink from the ESP32 memory.

I am suspecting its the HTTP get request that receives corrupted bytes from the sever, but I don't know how to verify that. Any advice on this?

Thanks in advance!
