- USB cable

## Setup

### 1. Convert your image

2. Upload your image and select **Inkplate 4TEMPERA** as the target board.
3. Download the generated header file and save it as `image_ex.h` in the `main/` folder.

### 2. Configure the board

Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to:
**Inkplate Boards → Inkplate4**

## Build and Flash

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