Tom Willemse 48ce1ba157 Add ‘--reset’ command-line option
Passing this option will cause a full update command to be sent to the Inkplate
instead of a partial update command.

A full update cleans up any residual display from previous partial updates, but
causes more wear on the eink display. It causes a big flash of all black to
happen before sending the updated display. I shouldn't be used all the time.

#+title: Inkplate Display
#+options: toc:nil
My script for displaying information on my Inkplate.
* Requirements
This script needs [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/][Guile]] and [[https://git.sr.ht/~ryuslash/guile-inkplate][guile-inkplate]].
* Installation
Put the =inkplate-display= script anywhere in your =$PATH=.
* Usage
Run the =inkplate-display= script without any arguments. This script assumes that your Inkplate is connected, running in peripheral mode, and that the file descriptor is located at =/dev/ttyUSB0=.
The following command-line arguments are available:
- =--reset= :: Causes a full screen update to be sent to the Inkplate instead of a partial one. Clears any artifacts from previous partial updates, but is harder on the display so shouldn't be used all the time.
