RTC=0
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!

I think instead of people writing up descriptions again what we should do is publish a new version which is definitely working. Would anyone be opposed to compiling all the tweaks we know you need to do into a new bundle and updating the links? @peterson etc

Thanks for working on this!

I just tried to get this up and running on my Paperwhite 2nd gen. I had it working for a bit and then something overwrote the config.sh file with what looks like the amazon user agreement in different languages. Any ideas? I've tried reinstalling onlinescreen saver and doing a full factory reset and now I can't get it working.

Thank you @amapetilan. Because of your reply I tried again to get my PW1 working where I failed last year. And finally it`s working
also @mironov and @jonnydeath for the recent changes, that are included in @amapetilans files.

But be aware that there are some bugs in amapetilans v0.4 files:

• put the fullpath (source ...) also in checkschedule.sh
• in some/all? relevant files there is a typo: sourc instead of source
• in utils.sh it should be wait_for instead of wait_forr

Good luck to all experimenting
