Example of the component solderedelectronics/inkplate v1.1.0
# 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.
