Ink plate 6 can't upload example hello world

TECHNICAL SUPPORT Inkplate
1

First use of Ink Plate 6 motion. The device is working ok.
CH340 driver was already installed and inkplate detected on COM10
I have followed the instructions

  • File → Examples → InkplateLibrary → Inkplate6 → Basic → Inkplate6_Hello_World
  • Select board drop down → COM10 → Select “soldered inkplate 6” → ok
  • Click the upload arrow

I have tried removing power, resetting. The blue ON LED is ON. IDE v2.3.10.

Hi @richardp

From your post it says its trying to upload to COM11 while you said you have it plugged in to COM10. Can you double check that? Also maybe lowering the baud rate might help.

Hi Fran, thank you for the reply.

I tried two ports USB ports on the PC, hence the COM10 and COM11 difference in the log. (Both produced the same result). 115200 baud which produces the same result.

I can’t help feeling the hardware is ok but I’m missing something basic due to being new to both InkPlate and STM32 tech.

My mistake, I thought you were asking about Inkplate 6, not Inkplate 6Motion. Have you followed the steps here and here for setting up the 6Motion?
You will need to install a different library, board definition and get the board into programming mode.

That would be it :slight_smile: Thank you!
