# Read Temperature

Read and display panel temperature on Soldered Inkplate 5 using LVGL.

## Overview

Reads the panel temperature from the TPS65186 PMIC thermistor and displays it on the e-ink panel. The display refreshes every 10 seconds using fast partial update.

## Hardware Required

- Soldered Inkplate 5
- USB cable

## Setup

Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to:
**Inkplate Boards → Inkplate5**

## Build and Flash

```
idf.py build
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```

## Expected Output

Display shows panel temperature in Celsius, updating every 10 s.

## Notes

- `lv_refr_now()` renders the LVGL scene into the framebuffer.
- `display.partialUpdate()` is used for fast refresh between full updates.
