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.

Inkplate Display

My script for displaying information on my Inkplate.

Requirements

This script needs Guile and 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.
