How to use with trmnl-android or BYOD

[mrjovanovic]

There are no instructions on how to use this with trmnl-android or another BYOD. No place to put in API access token/mac address or any other way to add a new device.

Does Inker only support TRMNL devices?

I got it working by using the setup API endpoint:

$ curl -v "https://inker.example.com/api/setup" -H "id: AB:CD:EF:12:34:56"

I use trmnl-kobo and the MAC address given here has to match that specified in the trmnl-kobo config.json.

You'll get back an api_key to put into the trmnl-kobo config.json's TrmnlToken field:

{
  "status": 200,
  "api_key": "NnD...",
  "friendly_id": "bright-hawk-94",
  "image_url": "http://inker.example.com/assets/setup.png",
  "message": "Welcome to Inker!"
}
