I used the [7.3" one](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/inky-frame-7-3). If you use a different size one, you will need to edit ```inky_convert.sh``` and PicoGraphics import to refrence the different sized screen. + +Load all the files in repo, minus inky_convert.sh onto the storage of Raspberry Pi pico onboard. Make sure to add your WiFi connection details into [secrets.py](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-inky-frame#adding-your-wireless-credentials) as well as your Nextcloud auth like below. I suggest you make an app password instead of your standard password. + +``` +NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME=username +NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD=password +NEXTCLOUD_URL=https://nextcloud +``` + +On your Nextcloud instanace, make a folder in base folder that is called "eink-frame". Put in any pictures you like in that folder that have first been run through ```inky_convert.sh```. The script only requires bash and imagemagick. +Power on your Inky Frame and watch it go through the pictures in that folder every 6 hours. -- GitLab
