# Burn-In Clean Run a burn-in cleaning cycle to reduce ghosting on the Inkplate 2 e-paper panel. ## Overview Calls Inkplate's `burnInClean()` routine to perform a repeated full-refresh cleaning sequence designed to reduce heavy ghosting (burn-in) on the e-paper panel. When the sequence finishes, a confirmation message is shown on screen. The number of cycles and delay between them are configurable. The process may take several minutes depending on settings. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 2 - USB cable ## Setup In `main.cpp`, configure: - `CLEAR_CYCLES` — number of cleaning refresh cycles - `CYCLES_DELAY` — delay between cycles in milliseconds (keep ≥ 5000 ms) Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate2** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output The panel repeatedly refreshes during the cleaning routine. After completion, "Clearing done." is displayed on screen. ## Notes - Uses 1-bit (BW) display mode. - Do not interrupt power during the cleaning sequence. - Keep `CYCLES_DELAY` ≥ 5000 ms to avoid overstressing the panel and to allow refresh waveforms to complete. - Effectiveness depends on panel condition and severity of ghosting; multiple runs may be required. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
