HomePlate: E-Ink dashboard with Inkplate 10

marcjt · March 15, 2023, 1:24am

@lanrat Trying to get this working, but am currently stuck on the running / building in VSC.

I am seeing this error:

Also looks like the Inkplate Arduino Library was updated from 5.7.1 → 6.0.0 in the last two weeks.

Thanks in advance! Your project looks epic!

marcjt · March 15, 2023, 1:57am

Hmm, actually, I may just have sorted why, but not how to get around it.

The inkplate10 I received had a sticker on the back stating that due to supply chain issues the MCP23017 chip on this device was not included. Looks like that is where it is hanging up.

k-9 · March 16, 2023, 1:39pm

I had one of those stickers on my inkplate, and I was able to get Homeplate to run on mine today. The big hang up I had was that it wanted to use version 6.0.0 of the Inkplate library which caused a bunch of errors. I had to specifically paste in a link to the 5.7.1 source code archive, before it would run and upload.
In platformio.ini I changed:
https://github.com/e-radionicacom/Inkplate-Arduino-library @ 5.7.1
to:
https://github.com/SolderedElectronics/Inkplate-Arduino-library/archive/refs/tags/5.7.1.zip

not sure if thats your problem, good luck.

lanrat · March 17, 2023, 6:39pm

Thanks for that information, I did not realize that only the older versions of the library would work and not the newer ones?

Hopefully there is an update that can auto-detect in the future, but I’m glad you got it figured out.

aissbaer · March 24, 2023, 8:29am

Before spending more days and hours, can anyone help me with this error?

Still fighting to get used to Visual Studio but think this could be another problem.
best regards

marcjt · March 29, 2023, 1:58am

This worked for me! Thanks! I now have the word “HomePlate” displayed on my Inkplate 10.

So… I feel like a complete noob. I am trying to set up Docker on my Synology to work with HAOS on a Pi4. I am not sure what to set for the “HA_SCREENSHOT_URL” in Docker Env variables. I have the IP address of the NAS, port 5000, etc. A static IP for the HomePlate. Just struggling a bit with the config.

lanrat · March 30, 2023, 12:00am

I just updated the main Inkplate library, it may help some.

@aissbaer Try using the updated library.

@marcjt, when you connect the Homeplate to your computer, what is the output of the serial console?

michael · March 30, 2023, 9:52pm

Hello, first of all, thanks for the project and sharing! Exactly, what I was looking for.

I am still not able to get it work - log tells “displaying is done”, but nothing is displayed. Not sure, what I am doing wrong, got the same set of errors like aissbaer. Image is provided by hass-screenshot container and is downloadable in browser just fine with correct resolution.

Tried:

setting waveform 3 - no luck
uploading test projects from Soldered - displayed fine, so the inkplate is fine.
hardcoded library version 5.7.1 - no luck

Any ideas?

lanrat · March 31, 2023, 2:39am

I don’t know what’s causing this, but its my best guess as to the issue, something on the I2C bus is not communicating as it should. On the Inkplate, that included the display. Have you had any luck running the other Inkplate examples, or asked for support in the Inkplate forums?

michael · March 31, 2023, 9:48am

Yes, actually, running examples from Inkplate with Arduino it was displaying just fine… I will try flashing this from another machine to exclude environment issues. And will dig about this i2c error. Will report back if something interesting found.

goobags · April 22, 2023, 10:01am

Are there any tips to get the touchpads working? I don’t have anything of the little cube things in the 3D printed case and it keeps triggering a wake command from the touch pads.

Further to the above question, what is conductive tape and where can I get it from?

digodigo · May 1, 2023, 1:30pm

Hi @michael, Hi @lanrat,

I seem to have the same error message as you, i.e.:

[E][Wire.cpp:513] requestFrom(): i2cRead returned Error 263

I trying to get HomePlate running on a recent Inkplate 10. The recent ones from soldered.com feature a slim frame but lack the touch sensitive buttons.

The projects starts fine on the device, logs on to the wifi and downloads the screenshot file from a docker setup of hass-screenshot on the same network. The full output of pio run on my silicon Mac is as follows:

Do you have any idea where I should continue debugging?

Hi @digodigo, it looks for me like the i2c addressing has changed.
I tried so far switching to a lib v7.0.0 and running Arduino examples from Soldered.

using Arduino examples I was able to pull the image from container and display it
using newer library version did not change a thing

I am still waiting for a proper frame to build the thing, so at the moment not checking further. Please share, if you will find a way to make the project work with recent hw revision.

lanrat · May 1, 2023, 5:47pm

Unfortunately I don’t have access to the later revision Inkplate to test with, but I did make some changes to the code in the past week that may help, but they are untested.

I would suggest trying the latest homeplate code, and if that does not work, someone with the newer hardware will need to help make a PR to support the new HW. I think another user may be already working on such a PR, but it does not appear to be ready yet.

digodigo · May 2, 2023, 6:30pm

@lanrat:
I just tested the recent code base. Unfortunately to no avail. Yet, I’d be eager to help testing the newer code. Is there any way I could assist you?
To show which hardware I’m referring to and which does not work as of yet I attach a front and back photo of 'em here:

lanrat · May 2, 2023, 10:47pm

@digodigo Can you try updating the [env:inkplate10] section in platformio.ini to include ARDUINO_INKPLATE10V2 and let me know how that works?

The new section should look like this:

[env:inkplate10]
; settings for inkplate10
build_flags =
  ${env.build_flags}
  -DARDUINO_INKPLATE10
  -DARDUINO_INKPLATE10V2

It looks like the Inkplate library looks for ARDUINO_INKPLATE10V2 to be defined to tell it to expect the newer hardware.

digodigo · May 3, 2023, 6:26am

Hello @lanrat,

unfortunately the added line results in the following output. I also tried only the V2-statement (DARDUINO_INKPLATE10V2) leaving out the non-V2-line - to no avail. Do you have any further thoughts?

Thanks for the logs @digodigo.

I just pushed an update that should add support for the Inkplate10v2, and at least make the code compile. Can you grab my latest code and try running it with pio run -e inkplate10v2 and report back?

EDIT: There should be no need to edit the platformio.ini file when setting the inkplate10v2 build environment with the updated code.

digodigo · May 3, 2023, 8:00pm

That looks a lot better - thank you! Yet, displaying a screenshot or any other downloaded image for that matter is quite unreliable. Only every few tries the devices manages to download and successfully display an image. I tried static IP in config.h as well as dhcp.

The output of pio run -e inkplate10v2 is as follows:

Hard resetting via RTS pin...

From your experience: do you think that is still an issue of newer hardware or would you suggest debugging somewhere else?

Unfortunate update on the Inkplate 6+ project - my Inkplate was fried after being connected to a USB C charger that was failing (probably exposed it to a full 24 or 48V?) which let the magic smoke out of the Inkplate charger circuit.

I will probably pick it back up again later, but for the moment without a board my development is largely dead. It is a very cool project and I hope to be back soon when I have a little time and money to dedicated to it again.
