# Show JPG with HTTP Client Download a JPG image into a buffer and display it on Soldered Inkplate 13SPECTRA. ## Overview Demonstrates downloading a JPG (or PNG) image into a PSRAM buffer using the WiFi download API, then drawing it on the e-paper display from the buffer. This approach is useful when the image data needs to be pre-processed before display. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 13SPECTRA - USB cable - Stable WiFi connection ## Setup ### 1. Set the image URL In `main.cpp`, set `IMAGE_URL` to any accessible JPG or PNG URL. ### 2. Configure WiFi and board Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: - **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate13** - **WiFi Configuration → Enter your SSID and password** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output JPG image downloaded into PSRAM and displayed on the Inkplate 13SPECTRA e-paper screen. ## Notes - Image is downloaded into PSRAM; ensure the image size fits available memory. - Certificate verification is disabled (`CONFIG_ESP_TLS_INSECURE=y`). - Images must fit the display resolution (1600×1200 px) or smaller. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
