Mode Selection

• Mode 0: Automatically get the name and sort the images in the pic folder.
• Mode 1: Automatically get the name in the pic folder but sort the images.
• Mode 2: Instead of automatically getting the names of the pictures in the pic folder, you need to create a fileList.txt file in the root directory of the TF card and write the names of the pictures in it.

Can you show me step by step how I can do this? Perhaps I need some additional tool. When I connect the device to the computer, I see a disk appearing on 127 containing INDEX.HTM and INFO_UF2.TXT.

】The programming method is shown below:

Press RUN, then press BOOT, then release RUN, then release BOOT,

】a USB flash drive will pop up on the computer, and you can drag the UF2 file into it.

I did so and the disk appeared RPI-RP2.Inside the disk are the files in the picture. I don’t know what to do next, please help

To do this, simply copy the "rtc_1_hours.uf2"file from the "\Pico_ePaper_73\extra_uf2\Mode 0" directory to RPI-RP2。

Ensure that the SD card is in FAT32 format and place images in the pic directory of the SD card. Then power on and press the “NEXT”button to display.

Thank you. Mod0 was installed, the green indicator blinked, but after installing the flash drive, only the red indicator blinked. Mod1 worked. After installing the flash drive, the green indicator blinked and when the button was pressed, the next one showed the picture from the flash drive. I don’t quite understand whether it is necessary to insert a battery into the CR1220 compartment for automatic mode or whether the power for the watch is taken from a lithium battery

RTC batteries are not necessary, but they can allow electronic photo frames to record the process of changing images.

When I try to download the activation file of any of them MOD 0 or MOD1 or MOD2  uf.2 , the disk PRI-RP2 disappears  and nothing happens

Now Your question is that  you do not know how to download a uf2 file to our Moudle ？？？

You say ：

PRI-RP2 disappears mean that you have put new firmware successfully

Then you can reboot  and do the next step

how to do a full reset of the device ? and how to reset it to factory settings?

this is default factory firmware
