Customer:
I’m having problems with the latest release of the Inkplate library (Version 5.7.0 has breaking changes from 5.5.1 · Issue #145 · SolderedElectronics/Inkplate-Arduino-library · GitHub). I’m using the built-in temperature sensor. I always ensure that the screen is on and has been updated at least once before reading the temperature.
I’ve also released my code as open source at GitHub - lanrat/homeplate: Trmnl & Home Assistant E-Ink dashboard on the Inkplate displays · GitHub. I put a lot of work into this to get my Inkplate to fully take advantage of all of the hardware, and added features like knowing which touchpad created a wake event, and limited support for partial screen updates in 3 bit mode. I’d be curious to hear your comments and thoughts. It should not be hard to port to the other Inkplate hardware if you’re interested.
