# Partial Update Scrolling text demo using partial display updates on Soldered Inkplate 4TEMPERA. ## Overview Demonstrates partial display updates by scrolling a text string from right to left. Only the changed region is refreshed each frame, which is significantly faster than a full display update. A full refresh is forced periodically to prevent ghosting. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 4TEMPERA - USB cable ## Setup Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate4** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output "This is partial update on Inkplate 4 e-paper display!" scrolling continuously from right to left. ## Notes - `partialUpdate(false, true)` keeps e-paper power on for faster successive updates. - A full refresh is triggered automatically after 9 partial updates to maintain display quality. - Partial update is only supported in `BLACK_AND_WHITE` display mode. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
