I’m working with my 5.7" Inky Frame, and am currently trying to get the default Launcher app running. When running the main.py though I’m getting the following error:

```auto
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 145, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 43, in launcher
ValueError: create_pen failed. No matching colour or space in palette!

```

I would expect this to work out of the box, and am unsure if I missed a step?

Okay I think I figured it out. This image in the [getting started guide](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-inky-frame#troubleshooting) was throwing me off. [https://cdn.learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-inky-frame/assets/download\_micropython\_v2.png?width=1200](https://cdn.learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-inky-frame/assets/download_micropython_v2.png?width=1200)

I got hung up on the “w” in “picow”, so I specifically downloaded the only one with “w” in its name for the current latest version (1.20.3) which is “pimoroni-picow-v1.20.3-micropython.uf2”. It seems this is wrong, and I needed the one with inky\_frame in the name “pimoroni-inky\_frame-v1.20.3-micropython.uf2”.

Oops! Glad to hear you figured it out, will update the screenshot to show the current .uf2 names when I get a moment.
