I bought an Inky Frame 7.3 a few weeks ago and just went to install some of my software on it.

MPY: soft reboot

I am not sure what version 294098d-dirty on 2023-02-27 is but it seems to be missing the colours, my code uses WHITE, BLACK and RED. I glanced at the main branch and it’s still there in the docs and the docs…

I think some of the newer Inky functions were added in March so you might need to update to a more recent MicroPython image.

Here’s a direct link to the newest Inky Frame image: https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/download/v1.20.3/pimoroni-inky_frame-v1.20.3-micropython.uf2

(and I’ve nudged our production crew to update the image that they’re pre-loading on new units!)

Thanks, I thought its presence in the documentation would mean it was on newly purchased devices.
