TEST_DOMAIN="192.168.1.146" #Personal
IMAGE_URI="http://192.168.1.146/kindle/image.png" #Personal
I've set the airplane mode to off.
After making all the changes, I restart the kindle from the interface and let it boot and go to sleep by itself.
I woke up this morning and my image was updating.
Notably I think the most important thing is assuring that the image is 8bit Gray. 16bit absolutely crashed my unit. RGB images get stretched out. I've written the image creation software in go, stealing a lot of the code from https://github.com/fogleman/gg
I've had to take code out of that repo because it was written for only RGB contexts and I couldn't think of a way to make a clean PR for Gray. I'll be working on that when I get the functionality I want out of my weather station.
I hope something there works dan-
I'll keep watching the thread. |
Hi, thank you for you contribution. For some reason, I just cannot get mine to work. I modified the path for config and utils in the necessary scripts and I attempted to add the script update from mironov, but no cigar. My image is easily accessible on any device in my network via http. No matter what I do though, I cannot get the kindle to grab/update the screensaver. Also, where do you add the code from mironov? I've tried in several of the scripts to no avail. If you could please provide a detailed write up to get this working, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
