E-Paper Display Setup Wizard

Step 1: WiFi Configuration

Configure your WiFi networks.

Step 2: Display Configuration

Set up your e-Paper display hardware.

Step 4: Service Configuration

Choose which services to enable and configure their settings.

Step 5: API Keys

Configure API keys for various services.
(See services documentation for more information. In short: the real time transit monitoring feature requires their own API key for the selected transit agency, the rest of the services are only enhanced if you provide them with API keys.)

Step 6: Location Configuration

Set up your location to display transit and weather information.

Step 7: Transit Configuration

Set up your transit information.
Note: API keys for real-time providers (STIB, De Lijn, BKK) should be configured in Step 5: API Keys.

⚙️ Advanced Settings

Configure advanced settings and fine-tune the device behavior.

Restart the display for your changes to take effect. If necessary, come back to this page to change the settings later. Note that this only restarts the display service, not the entire device - if you need to restart the entire device, you can do so by unplugging and replugging the device.

You can visit the debug server to see the logs of the display service (if it successfully started) and to change any of the settings not included in this setup wizard.

If your display fails to start, you can try to SSH into the device and use the command sudo systemctl restart display.service to restart the display service or journalctl -u display.service -f to see the service logs.

If you want to see the standard outputs and errors, try tail -f /var/log/display/display.out and tail -f /var/log/display/display.out.


                    If all else fails, you can reinstall the display using the instructions on GitHub.
