yes, according to
epd.init() # initialize the display
print("Clear...") # print message to console
epd.Clear(0xFF)

So the eink display flashes? After it clears the display it should put a message to the console. That message comes from the drivers. If that's not happening, check the waveshare repo to see if they have a new version.
