Pico Inky Frame MicroPython Examples

PicoGraphics

You can draw on Inky Frame using our tiny PicoGraphics display library.

Examples

The wireless examples need network_manager.py and WIFI_CONFIG.py from the common directory to be saved to your Pico W. Open up WIFI_CONFIG.py in Thonny to add your wifi details (and save it when you're done).

You'll also need to install the micropython-urllib.urequest library using Thonny's 'Tools' > 'Manage Packages' or common/lib/urllib which contains a compiled .mpy version that uses less RAM. You should place this directory in lib on your Pico W.

Finally for examples loading images, you'll need sdcard.mpy from common/lib. You should place this file in lib on your Pico W.

Button Test

button_test.py

This example shows you a simple, non-interrupt way of reading Inky Frame's buttons with a loop that checks to see if buttons are pressed.

Daily Activity

inky_frame_daily_activity.py

Generate a random activity from Bored API.

Image Gallery

/image_gallery

This photo frame example displays local images on Inky Frame and lets you switch between them with the buttons. Use image_gallery.py if your images are stored on your Pico, or image_gallery_sd.py if the images are on your SD card.

LED PWM

led_pwm.py

A basic example showing how you can control the brightness of Inky Frame's LEDs using PWM.

News

inky_frame_news.py

Display headlines from BBC News.

PlaceKitten

inky_frame_placekitten.py

Download a random (from a small subset) image from PlaceKitten.

Quote of the Day

inky_frame_quote_of_the_day.py

Load the WikiQuotes Quote of the Day and display it.

Random Joke

inky_frame_random_joke.py

Load a random joke from JokeAPI.dev and display it.

Jokes are rendered into images "offline" by our feed2image service for two reasons:

  1. Saves the Pico W having to process them
  2. JokeAPI.dev needs TLS1.3 which Pico W does not support!

For bugs/contributions or to complain about a joke, see: https://github.com/pimoroni/feed2image

XKCD Daily

inky_frame_xkcd_daily.py

Download and display the daily webcomic from https://xkcd.com/

The webcomic is rendered "offline" by our feed2image service since xkcd.com requires TLS1.3!

For bugs/contributions see: https://github.com/pimoroni/feed2image
