# HTTP Web Server Host a simple web server on Soldered Inkplate 6. ## Overview Connects Inkplate 6 to WiFi and starts a lightweight HTTP server. A browser on the same network can send commands or content to Inkplate 6, which are then displayed on the e-paper screen. The board's IP address is shown on the display after connecting. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 6 - USB cable - Stable WiFi connection - Computer or phone on the same network ## Setup Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: - **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate6** - **WiFi Configuration → Enter your SSID and password** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output - Inkplate 6 displays its IP address after connecting to WiFi. - Open that IP in a browser to interact with the board via the web interface. ## Notes - Inkplate 6 and the client device must be on the same WiFi network. - The server handles one request at a time. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
