# RTC Simple

RTC simple clock example for Soldered Inkplate 6Flick.

## Overview

Sets the RTC date and time, displays the current time, and refreshes the display every 60 seconds.

## 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 and date (HH:MM:SS and weekday/date), updating every 60 s.

## 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.
