Inky Frame Picture InkyFrame

You will need an Inky Frame for this project. I used the 7.3" one. 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 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.
