Customer:

Does the battery fit inside the case?

Soldered Support:

All Inkplate models offer variants that include both an enclosure and a battery. In these versions, the battery comes pre-installed within the Inkplate and its enclosure.

Customer:

Is there software available, or does it require coding? I’m not a strong developer.

Soldered Support:

Inkplate is programmed via Arduino IDE, code is uploaded via the USB port. The getting started guide for Inkplate with Arduino is available at: Inkplate Get Started Page — Inkplate docs documentation

If you let us know which application you’d like to use Inkplate for, we likely have an Arduino example where you only have to change a couple lines to get it to work.
