Customer:

When I try to upload code to Inkplate 10, I get this error from Arduino IDE:

5 NOT_FOUND: Unknown FQBN: getting build properties for board Inkplate_Boards:esp32:Inkplate10: invalid value ‘460800’ for option ‘UploadSpeed’

Why am I getting this error and what do I need to do?

Soldered Support:

Can you please send a screenshot of your Tools menu in Arduino IDE? Which version of Arduino IDE are you using?

Soldered Support:

After you select Inkplate 10, you still can’t upload your code?

Customer:

No, I cannot upload the code. I get the error I sent you.

Soldered Support:

When I looked at your picture, I saw that you are using a newer version of Arduino. That version is currently incompatible with the board definition.

Please download version 1.8.19 from https://www.arduino.cc/en/software and try again.

The connection is now working. Can you help me with one of the examples from your library that I’m trying to upload? When I copy your code to Arduino, I get all kinds of errors. What am I doing wrong? Can you send me a working example so I can understand how to code with Inkplate 10?

Here is the error I get. I took the code from your site. The code is in the text file I’m attaching. Thank you.

Soldered Support:

To run any Inkplate code, you have to download the whole Inkplate library from GitHub - SolderedElectronics/Inkplate-Arduino-library: Inkplate family Arduino library. The easiest way to add e-paper to your project. · GitHub. If you just copy the code, it will not work.

Where do I need to download the folder to? Can you send me screenshots or videos of the steps I need to follow?

Soldered Support:

First you need to install the Inkplate board definition. In Arduino IDE, go to File → Preferences → Additional Boards Manager URLs and paste this link:

https://github.com/e-radionicacom/Croduino-Board-Definitions-for-Arduino-IDE/raw/master/package_Croduino_Boards_index.json

After that, go to Tools → Board → Board manager, type “inkplate” and install version V2.0.0.

Now you have the Inkplate board definition installed. Next, you need to install the Inkplate examples. Go to GitHub - SolderedElectronics/Inkplate-Arduino-library: Inkplate family Arduino library. The easiest way to add e-paper to your project. · GitHub, click Code → Download as zip, and download it.

Extract the downloaded folder. You now have a folder called Inkplate-Arduino-library-master. Copy this entire folder and paste it into your Arduino libraries directory, which is located at Documents → Arduino → libraries.

Then in Arduino IDE, go to File → Examples → InkplateLibrary → Inkplate10 and select any example.
