# RTC Alarm RTC alarm example for Soldered Inkplate 6Flick. ## Overview Sets RTC time and date, then sets an alarm 1 minute ahead. Displays current time every 60 s. When the alarm fires, "ALARM!" appears on screen. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 6Flick - USB cable - CR2032 battery (optional, keeps RTC running without USB power) ## Setup 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 - Display shows current time. - "ALARM!" appears after approximately 1 minute. ## Notes - `display.frontlight.setState(false)` disables the frontlight at startup. - `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/
