Inkarta

This repository includes three parts for a wirelessly configurable e-ink picture frame:

1. Arduino sketch for the Inkplate ESP32-based e-paper display
2. Flask server for processing and storing images
3. iOS app for convenient management of image gallery

Features

• Automatically changes the picture at midnight
• Enters low power mode until next refresh (or wake button triggers manual refresh) so battery lasts a long time.
• Flask server supports processing, storing, and retrieving images via REST API
• App provides an easy-to-use interface for managing images and metadata
