FAQ

Does the device do any rendering? No. It fetches an image, shows it, sleeps. All rendering happens on the server; see the device contract.

What image format do I get? Whatever the screen is configured for: 1-bit threshold, 1-bit dithered, 4-bit gray or 8-bit gray, matching your panel.

How often does it update? Whatever the screen's schedule says, an interval or a list of times of day, in the screen's own time zone.

What happens if a render fails? The device gets the last good image instead. A screen that has never rendered gets a "waiting for first render" image. Either way the device keeps showing what it already has.

Is there a free plan? Yes, see the plans on the homepage. Free covers one screen; Plus adds more screens, shorter intervals, more widgets and render history.

Where's the firmware source? firmware/inkplate/ in the repository, for the Inkplate 10. See the Inkplate doc, or ESP32, Kindle and Kobo for the rest.
