Greetings,
I can't get the e-ink display featherwing to react, and I think this one may be defective.
I am testing with the EPDTest.ino example that the library ships with, and have updated the pinouts to match my Feather M0 from the other example, FeatherWingTest.ino (attached).
Using Serial.print I can find that the "epd.display()" method is taking 10 or so seconds, but nothing happens on the display - it still shows the default image that it shipped with.
I haven't tried cutting the SD card trace, as the documentation does not describe it as a requirement and I don't want to do any work on the product in case it's defective and I need to return it.
The main reason to think it's defective, is that two of the pins on it that should be connected aren't - picture attached:
(I found this by putting in two rows of headers, and working my way down each pair of pins with a multimeter identifying the one that doesn't connect).
What do you think, does that failing pin connection indicate I need a new unit to make it work?

Hmm not sure why I didn't get the email notice of your reply - anyway here's a link to the image showing the defective pin:

woops you're right! A5 is not connected thru on the PCB, we'll fix it in rev C
*however* that pin is not used (which is also why the bug wasnt caught) so it's something else! as you expect, we do test each one with a feather that's how we get the image on
dont forget you have to set the M0 pin 8 to be an output and pulled high

Can you tell me more about this pin 8 requirement? I didn't find a reference about it in the sample code or the tutorials as far as I can tell, but maybe I've been using the wrong tutorials / samples?
These are the tutorials I used to try and get it working:

https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ein ... -breakouts
Apologies if it's listed and I missed it! If so, can you point me to it? If not, can you look at the code I posted, and show me where you'd add it to make it work - or can you share your own working code that you used to test the EPD before shipping it?
