Via Program Refresh

[简体中文]

Summary

This topic aims to describe refreshing the Wireless Paper by downloading the program through the USB interface.

Image coding

Tip

This screen does not support grayscale, so when making the image, you will need to convert it to a pure black and white image smaller than 250X122.

First, convert your image to XBM format.

Let’s use Convertio as an example .

  • Open Convertio: https://convertio.co/zh/xbm-converter/, and select the image that needs to be taken, Select convert to XBM format.

  • Open the downloaded file with Notebook, and copy the contents in the red box.

Downloading the program

Connect the Wireless Paper to the computer using a TYPE-C wire. Open Arduino, in Tools > Board Manager, select Wireless Paper, and select the corresponding Port, LoRaWAN REGION.

Open the sample code provided by Heltec.

Tip

There are currently two versions of the diplay, if the protector sticker has a red mark, please select the code ‘QYEG0213RWS800_BWR’; For others, select ‘HT ICMEN2R13EFC1’. If you are not sure which version you have, please contact us at Support@heltec.cn.

Replace the green box in the figure below with the code you obtained earlier.

Tip

Be careful to fill in the data of Weight and Hight in the black box part of the figure, rather than copying this part directly.

Click upload, when the program is uploaded, the image is displayed on E-Ink.
