You are now holding my latest e-ink station for displaying stocks. Thank you for purchasing it. I believe it will serve you well and bring you joy.

Simple steps:

1. Turn on the station using the RESET button on the back. Upon first startup, the station will broadcast its own WiFi network named STOCKS-ABCDEFGH. Connect to this WiFi network using your phone or computer.
2. After connecting to this WiFi network, a setup page should appear automatically. If it doesn't, open http://192.168.4.1 in your browser.
3. On this page, fill in the details to connect to your home WiFi network. Enter your WiFi network name and password. Do not save it just yet.
4. On the next tab, you can configure which stocks you want to monitor. Enter the symbol of a stock, index, cryptocurrency, or currency pair. You can also set a time interval for which a graph may be displayed. For each stock, you can optionally enter your purchase price, and the station will then show the profit or loss as a percentage.
5. In the advanced settings, you can choose:
   • Data update interval. Keep in mind that with an hourly interval, the battery can last almost a year on a single charge.
   • Color scheme.
   • Time zone.
6. After entering all the information, click the Save button. The station will restart and connect to your home WiFi network.

If the station does not connect to your WiFi network, it will once again broadcast its own WiFi network named STOCKS-ABCDEFGH. Follow the same steps as during the first startup.

After every restart, the station checks whether a newer version of the firmware is available and updates automatically.

During normal operation, the station is completely turned off and only downloads and displays current data at selected intervals. It does not broadcast any WiFi network and is not continuously connected to your home WiFi network. Thanks to this, the battery can last for several months on a single charge. The station can be connected to power using a USB-C connector. While charging, a red LED lights up. Once charging is complete, the LED turns off.

If you need to reconfigure anything in the station, simply reset it using the RESET button on the back. The station will restart and broadcast its WiFi network named STOCKS-ABCDEFGH for 5 minutes. Connect to this network as you did during the first setup, and you can change the settings – such as updating the stock symbols being displayed, etc.
