# HTTP POST Request Send an HTTP POST request and display the response on Soldered Inkplate 6 using LVGL. ## Overview Connects to WiFi and sends an HTTP POST request with a JSON payload to httpbin.org/post, which echoes the request back. The HTTP status code and a snippet of the response are shown on the e-paper display. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 6 - USB cable - Stable WiFi connection ## Setup Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate6** **WiFi Configuration → Enter your SSID and password** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output Display shows HTTP status code and response snippet. ## 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/
