# Set VCOM Set and verify VCOM voltage for Soldered Inkplate 6 Flick. ## Overview Programs the e-paper panel VCOM voltage to the value defined by `VCOM_VALUE` and displays a grayscale test image for visual verification. VCOM affects image contrast and uniformity; the correct value is printed on the e-paper panel's FPC cable. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 6 Flick - USB cable ## Setup In `main.cpp`, set `VCOM_VALUE` to the value printed on your panel's FPC cable (e.g. `-2.6`). 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 "Stored VCOM: X.XX V" and grayscale test bars displayed on screen. ## Notes - VCOM is stored in non-volatile memory and only needs to be set once. - An incorrect VCOM value can cause poor contrast or uneven display updates. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
