The 4 ESP32 ePaper examples (BW weather, BWR alert, UC8179 dashboard,
ACeP rainbow) wired GxEPD2 to GPIO 16 (RST) and GPIO 17 (DC), which is
the canonical pinout shown in every GxEPD2 example. But those pins are
not broken out on the DevKit V1 variant (PINS_ESP32) — they only exist
on DevKit-C-V4 (PINS_ESP32_DEVKIT_C_V4).
Result: the RST and DC wires fell back to (0,0) and rendered as a red
+ purple line shooting from the corner of the board. CLAUDE.md §6a
documents this exact symptom.
Switching boardType to 'esp32-devkit-c-v4' renders the variant whose
pinInfo includes 16 and 17. Also rename pinName 'GND' → 'GND.1' since
DevKit-C-V4 exposes three GND pins as GND.1/2/3 (not a plain 'GND').

- Implement UC8159cDecoder for handling 7-colour ACeP panels.
- Introduce painting functions for UC8159c frames in EPaperPart.
- Update EPaperPart to handle both SSD168x and UC8159c frame types.
- Add integration tests for EPaperPart and UC8159cDecoder.
- Create example sketch for 5.65" ACeP 7-colour panel.
- Enhance error handling in test cases for library dependencies.
- Introduced EPaperPanels.ts to define configurations for various ePaper panels including dimensions, refresh rates, and controller details.
- Implemented SSD168xDecoder.ts to handle the decoding of SPI commands for the SSD168x family of ePaper displays.
- Created EPaperPart.ts to manage the simulation of ePaper panels, integrating with the existing simulator architecture and handling events.
- Added example sketches for 2.13", 2.9", 4.2", and 7.5" ePaper displays, demonstrating basic functionality and text rendering.
- Ensured compatibility with AVR, RP2040, and ESP32 platforms, with appropriate pin configurations for each.
