# Image From SD Card Display JPEG images from an SD card on Soldered Inkplate 13 using LVGL. ## Overview Initialises the SD card, then uses the LVGL image widget to decode and display JPEG files stored on the card. Displays `picture1.jpg` for 5 seconds, then switches to `picture2.jpg` for 5 seconds. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 13 - USB cable - microSD card with `picture1.jpg` and `picture2.jpg` in the root directory (FAT32 formatted) ## Setup Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate13** Copy `picture1.jpg` and `picture2.jpg` to the root of a FAT32-formatted microSD card and insert it into the Inkplate 13. ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output - `picture1.jpg` shown for 5 s. - `picture2.jpg` shown for 5 s. ## Notes - SD filesystem path prefix is `S:/` (e.g. `"S:/picture1.jpg"`). - `display.enableDithering(true)` improves image quality on the 6-color panel. - `display.sdCardSleep()` powers down the SD card after use. - `lv_refr_now()` renders the LVGL scene into the framebuffer. - `display.display()` must be called to update the physical e-paper panel. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
