# RTC Simple Clock Display current time and date on Soldered Inkplate 6 using LVGL. ## Overview Sets the RTC date/time, displays the current time, and refreshes the display every 60 seconds. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 6 - USB cable - CR2032 battery (optional, keeps RTC running without USB power) ## 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 Display shows current time and date, updating every 60 s. ## Notes - `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/
