Inkplate 13 Spectra Spotify Now Playing example code

Customer:

I saw a “Now Playing” Spotify display example for Inkplate 13 Spectra on the crowdsupply page. Can you share information about this? Is there existing project code available? I’ve had an Inkplate 6Plus for a few years and wanted to build something similar, but lacked the skills to implement it from scratch. Seeing existing code might convince me to upgrade to a larger, more colorful Inkplate.

Soldered Support:

Yes, this is a new example being released with the new library that will support SPECTRA13.

Here is the source code for that example as it currently exists. Spotify recently changed some API rules right as we started using it for this example, but it should work with Spotify Premium: https://github.com/SolderedElectronics/Inkplate-Arduino-library/blob/inkplate-13-examples-stefan/examples/Inkplate13SPECTRA/Projects/Inkplate13SPECTRA_Spotify_Album/Inkplate13SPECTRA_Spotify_Album.ino

You may be able to port it to 6PLUS. We’re also working on a port for 6FLICK, which should be 1:1 compatible with 6PLUS.

Soldered Support:

I’ve confirmed it: for now we only have this example for Inkplate 10, 6COLOR, and 13SPECTRA.

With some work it should be possible to port the example from 13SPECTRA to your 6PLUS. Give it a try!
