New WAVESHARE 2.13inch E-Paper HAT+ (SKU:27467) Confirmed Working on V4 Settings (More Compact!)

[VengefulAntihero]

I just swapped this new HAT+ display in, replacing the old V4 display, and it has worked flawlessly so far with no configuration changes. Please note that I am using a Zero 2 W. This display is only $2 more from Waveshare, and because it lacks the 8-pin connector, it can be considerably more compact than the older displays. I'd say you can reduce the overall package by close to a centimeter with this unit. It also has 3 brass threaded standoffs that are at the perfect height to do just that. This would require a low-profile non-standard male-to-male header, and may also require reducing the height of the pins, but it is definitely doable. Integrating a UPS/Battery into this new setup will require even more considerations, especially a unique header solution, but I will report back if and when I do this. I also believe the new HAT+ display has darker blacks than the V4 but I don't have two working units to compare side by side at the moment. I hope this helps those of you looking to make your Bjorn as compact as possible.

EDIT: Example of just how thin these can be with no header plastic.
