# inky-lovelace

A python script for fetching a [Lovelace dashboard](https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/) from [HomeAssistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) on micropython on an [Inky Frame](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-inky-frame).

## Example

Here's what it looks like

# Background Notes

These are all web sites, videos, and references I used when putting it together.

## Micropython

- [Inky Frame micropython from Pimoroni](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/examples/inky_frame)
- I pulled the SD card code from [image_gallery_sd.py](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/main/micropython/examples/inky_frame/image_gallery/image_gallery_sd.py)
- I pulled the Wifi connection code from [RTC Clock Demo](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/main/micropython/examples/inky_frame/inky_frame_rtc_demo.py)
- I couldn't find any examples or documentation for how to use [pngdec](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/modules/pngdec), which is the library for decoding and displaying PNG images. Luckily, it works a lot like [jpegdec](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/modules/jpegdec) and so I used the same APIs and it worked.
