Supports multi-touch — up to two simultaneous fingers. When a touch occurs, the number of detected fingers and their coordinates are printed. When all fingers are released, a "Release" message is printed. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 6 Flick - USB cable ## Setup Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate6 Flick** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output Open a serial terminal at **115200 baud**: - Touch the screen with one finger → coordinates (X, Y) printed. - Touch with two fingers simultaneously → both coordinates printed. - Lift all fingers → "Release" printed. ## Notes - The touchscreen supports up to two simultaneous touch points. - Touch coordinates are automatically adjusted if display rotation changes. - This example sets display rotation to orientation 2. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
