## Getting Started with SenseCraft HMI

This section will guide you through connecting your EE02 to the SenseCraft HMI platform, allowing you to easily update the screen content wirelessly.

### Equipment Installation

**Step 1. Connect the Screen and Board**
Carefully connect the FPC cable of the 13.3-inch E-ink screen to the connector on the EE02 driver board. Ensure the locking mechanism is secure.

**Step 2. Power On**
Connect the EE02 board to a power source (computer or USB adapter) using a USB Type-C cable. Upon powering up, the screen will refresh and display a welcome image.

<div style={{textAlign:'center'}}><img src="https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Epaper/EE02/4.JPG" style={{width:300,height:'auto'}}/></div>

**Step 3. Enter Network Configuration Mode**
After the welcome image, the screen will automatically refresh to show the Network Configuration interface. This indicates the device is ready to connect to Wi-Fi.

<div style={{textAlign:'center'}}><img src="https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Epaper/EE02/5.JPG" style={{width:300,height:'auto'}}/></div>

### Network Configuration

**Step 4. Configure Wi-Fi via Mobile Phone**
Use your mobile phone to scan the QR code displayed on the screen (or connect to the hotspot indicated). Follow the prompts on your phone to enter your local Wi-Fi SSID and password to connect the EE02 to the internet.

<!-- <div style={{textAlign:'center'}}><img src="https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Epaper/EE02/6.JPG" style={{width:300,height:'auto'}}/></div> -->

**Step 5. Obtain Pairing Code**
Once the network configuration is successful, the screen will refresh again and display a unique **Pairing Code** (or Device ID). You will need this code for the next step.

<div style={{textAlign:'center'}}><img src="https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Epaper/EE02/7.JPG" style={{width:300,height:'auto'}}/></div>

### Platform Binding & Update

**Step 6. Bind Device on SenseCraft HMI**
Go to the [SenseCraft HMI Platform](https://sensecraft.seeed.cc/hmi/device). Log in to your account. Navigate to the device management section and select "Add Device". Enter the Pairing Code displayed on your E-ink screen to bind the device to your account.

<div style={{textAlign:'center'}}><img src="https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Epaper/EE02/8.jpg" style={{width:800, height:'auto'}}/></div>

**Step 7. Create and Push New Interface**
On the SenseCraft HMI platform, use the editor to create a new interface (e.g., upload an image or design a dashboard).

<div style={{textAlign:'center'}}><img src="https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Epaper/EE02/9.jpg" style={{width:800, height:'auto'}}/></div>

**Step 8. Apply your images**
Once finished, click "Apply" button at the top right corner, and then select the device you want to receive the image. The EE02 will receive the data and refresh the 13.3-inch screen with your new content.

<div style={{textAlign:'center'}}><img src="https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Epaper/EE02/10.jpg" style={{width:800, height:'auto'}}/></div>

**Step 9. Display on the screen**

Finally the EE02 will receive the data and refresh the 13.3-inch screen with your new content.

<div style={{textAlign:'center'}}><img src="https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Epaper/EE02/11.jpg" style={{width:300, height:'auto'}}/></div>

## Troubleshooting

**Q1: The screen does not refresh after powering on.**
* Check if the FPC cable is correctly inserted and locked.
* Ensure the USB Type-C cable provides sufficient power.
* Press the Reset button to restart the board.

**Q2: Wi-Fi configuration fails.**
* Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz (5GHz is not supported).
* Check if the Wi-Fi password was entered correctly.
* Move closer to the router to ensure a strong signal.

**Q3: The screen display is blurry or has ghosting.**
* This can happen if the screen hasn't been refreshed for a long time or if the power supply is unstable. Try refreshing the screen again via the HMI platform.
