# Black and White Draw basic shapes and text in 1-bit black and white mode on Soldered Inkplate 6. ## Overview Sets Inkplate 6 to 1-bit (BW) display mode and demonstrates drawing primitives: lines, rectangles, circles, triangles, and text. All content is rendered in pure black and white with no grayscale. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 6 - USB cable ## Setup Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate6** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output Various black and white shapes and text rendered on the Inkplate 6 e-paper display (1200×825 px). ## Notes - 1-bit mode enables partial updates and faster refresh compared to grayscale mode. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
