Help! I installed Inkycal but my E-Paper is not showing anything


Sorry to hear that. You can get more detailed answers on Discord, but try the following first:

  • Double check you have selected the correct e-paper model from the web-ui. If you are in doubt, double check the resolution of the E-Paper display
  • Issue with wiring, e.g. Ribbon cables. Please double check if everything is connected properly. If in doubt, use Discord to ask for help.

I get errors with numpy: numpy is not installed

This is a known issue, but it's not related to Inkycal, but the Raspberry Pi OS itself. If you encounter this issue, please run:

pip3 uninstall numpy
