Grayscale drawing demo on Soldered Inkplate 10.

## Overview

Demonstrates 3-bit grayscale (8 shades) drawing using Adafruit GFX-compatible functions. Draws shapes and text across the full grayscale range from black to white.

## Hardware Required

- Soldered Inkplate 10
- USB cable

## Setup

Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to:
**Inkplate Boards → Inkplate10**

## Build and Flash

```
idf.py build
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```

## Expected Output
