Inkplate 6 missing capacitive touch buttons shown in documentation

TECHNICAL SUPPORT Inkplate

Customer:

I have just received the Inkplate 6, but I cannot find the capacitive touch buttons as shown on the video on your website (Inkplate 6 - 6-Inch E-Paper Display with ESP32 for IoT Projects – Soldered Electronics) and on your hardware specification website (Inkplate Features — Inkplate docs documentation). I need those buttons for the project I planned to use it for. What am I missing?

Soldered Support:

The capacitive buttons are on the older model. The newer model doesn’t have these buttons. As it’s an issue with outdated product images and documentation, we can offer alternatives for your project.

If you want, you can use the on-board pins with buttons instead, so you can use the device you have for your project.
