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.

Debugging help

---

Inkycal logs events and errors on both the console and a log file.

Inkycal can be run manually with:

cd $HOME && source/venv/bin activate 
python3 inky_run.py

which will show logs and errors directly.

The log file can be found here:

Inkycal/logs/inkycal.log
