Inkplate4_Bluetooth_Peripheral_Mode example for Soldered Inkplate 4
3+
For this example you will need a USB-C cable, Inkplate 4 and smartphone.
4+
Select "Soldered Inkplate4" from Tools -> Board menu.
5+
Don't have "Soldered Inkplate4" option? Follow our tutorial and add it:
6+
https://soldered.com/learn/add-inkplate-6-board-definition-to-arduino-ide/
7+
8+
This example shows how to use Inkplate as a peripheral device over Bluetooth.
9+
More about peripheral mode: https://inkplate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/peripheral-mode.html
10+
11+
Upload this example to the Inkplate and connect your phone to it via Bluetooth.
12+
First, you have to pair the Inkplate with your phone in Bluetooth settings in your phone, then go to the
13+
Serial Bluetooth Terminal app and you can find the Inkplate in the device list. You can use another similar app.
14+
If Bluetooth starts successfully, you can send commands from your phone. Don't forget you need to send #L(1)* after
15+
each command to show it on the display (equal to display->display()).
