Looks good. This one had slipped past me.

Thanks @makermelissa. I'd recommend merging adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_EPD#86 along with this one (preferably first, but it's too late for that, haha). This MR just updates the Adafuit Guides so readers are aware of the driver updates. The other MR (EPD code PR #86) is what actually makes the driver improvements available. |

This PR accompanies (and depends on changes within) adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_EPD#86. This PR should be merged after that one.
Relates to adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_EPD#85
Scope
Updates the EInk_Bonnet_Event_Calendar and EInk_Bonnet_Weather_Station guides with the updated SSD1680B driver, which is required for the most recent GDEY0213B74-based boards.
Limitations
The example now imports and instantiates a new
Adafruit_SSD1680Bdriver, which is only compatible with the latest board revision. However, older driver imports and instantiations remain in the guide to make it clear how to use other driver variants.Tests
